She looked forward to it every year. It was the highlight of her summer. . She attend-ed Alabama State University from August 2016 to May 2018. Khielyean being small in stature, but big and strong at heart, she had dreams of working in Forensics Science. She departed this life on Friday, August 16 in Birmingham, AL surrounded by her loving mother and stepfather.
Khielyean loved singing, often playing out personal karaoke sessions in the car, her room and with her favorite person, her mom. Khielyean was soft spoken and quite shy but, befriended many. Khielyean accepted Christ in 2005 at 7 years of age. Before her transition she attended the True Word of Life Church in Montgomery, AL. under the leadership of Pastor Anthony Clark.

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.
I’m following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I’ve found peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Ah yes, these things I too will miss,
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don’t lengthen t now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now, He set me free.
