'Kaylee Jade Day' on Thursday

COEUR d'ALENE — Sometimes our angels are taken far too soon.

This Thursday has been set aside to appreciate the neverending glow of one of them.

Kaylee Goncalves.

The first Kaylee Jade Day is a chance for all to "do more of what you love."

June 8 would have been Kaylee's 22nd birthday.

"We don't have Kaylee with us here any longer, but that doesn't mean her love for life, family or adventure is gone," her family wrote in a flyer to explain that special square on the calendar each year going forward. "Help us to honor Kaylee by doing something you love, with her in mind.

"Together, for her, let's prove that love can never die."

Kaylee was one of four University of Idaho students who died during an attack in their Moscow home last year.

Some of the things Kaylee loved include:

• Go to lunch with a family member or friend.
• Plan a vacation or your next holiday.
• Cook a new meal at home you've been wanting to try.
• Grab a mimosa and appetizer at a local restaurant.
• Try a new hike.
• Wake up early to watch the sunrise.

*Facetime friends or family you don't see often.

"Kaylee lived every day doing what she loved, and that's what we would like to do every day, too, but especially on her birthday, June 8," the Goncalves family wrote.
