“On behalf of Zara, Hayden, Adrian, and all of our family and friends, we would like to express how much we appreciate all of your kind words, condolences,
And gestures of support while we grieve the loss of Kiara,” Christine Houghton said on Facebook on May 2. “She left a huge hole in our hearts and was the most beautiful,
Kind, fun, and sassy 13-year-old girl you could hope to meet.” “We are devastated to learn that Kiara passed away tragically from an epileptic episode.”
