Kyara Dawn Dzenis
8/6/2004 - 3/19/2010
Our beloved Kyara Dawn Dzenis, 5, of Sharpsburg, GA passed away on March 19, 2010 and is now playing with the angels in heaven.
She was born on August 6, 2004 at Southern Regional Hospital in Riverdale, GA. She went to school at Willis Road Elementary for Pre-K and then Poplar Road Elementary in Coweta County.
Kyara was an inspiration to all that knew her. She was brave, tough, and determined. She was an orange belt in karate, a soccer player and liked to read and write. She was very sweet and loving. To know Kyara was to be entangled in her web of charm. It was a blessing to have been a part of Kyara’s life.
Kyara is survived by her parents Gunars and Genie, and her 2 sisters, Skylar Rose and Kassandra Rain, all of Sharpsburg, GA; grandparents Mike and Peggy Leonard of Fayetteville, GA, Eriks Dzenis of Sharpsburg, GA and Luz Estela Robledo of Duluth, GA; great-grandparents Betty and Merle Leonard of Eastman, GA and Angelyn Screws of Columbus, GA; preceded in death by great-grandfather William A. Screws of Columbus, GA. Additionally, Kyara is survived by numerous loving aunts, uncles, cousins and incredibly caring and supportive friends.
A celebration of Kyara’s life will be held at 3:00 pm, March 23, 2010 at Fayetteville First United Methodist Church 175 E. Lanier Ave. Fayetteville, GA 30214. A viewing will be held one hour prior to the funeral service beginning at 2:00 pm. All are invited to join Kyara’s family and friends in refreshments and fellowship immediately following the service in the church’s fellowship hall.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations of DVDs, blank journals or toys (please see guidelines at http://www.choa.org/default.aspx?id=4178) that will be given in Kyara’s name to the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta for its patients. There will be an area at Kyara’s services to drop off donations.
We love you, Kyara!

2 Corinthians 5:1-4 speaks of how Kyara is enjoying her new body in heaven... praise God! It is so cool too so know that the girls are now running on the soccer field together.

I am thinking of your family today and praying for you all. I have followed your blog about Kyara since you posted the link in Dr. Saurino's class Oct 2008. I have read your story over these months with hope, sadness, and most of all admiration. You are a wonderful mother, Genie.
Kyara's life was too short, but she was loved more in her few years than most people will have in a 100. She is with God now; you can both rest. Always know that you will see her again "in the sweet by and by" and all the love between you will still be there.
Blessings to your family,
Roxanne
Genie and family...I am lifting you up in prayer on this day as you go through this time. You have been such an amazing witness through this whole time. You are a wonderful, supporting family, I can only pray that I would be half as strong and willing to share as you have been. Please know that the whole family is loved and lifted up today. God Bless and keep you all.
