To those that gave me their everything, I am sorry my effort was not reciprocated," she continued. "Please understand that me leaving is not a reflection on you, but the result of my own inability to turn myself for the better. To Ashley, Cynthia, Regine & Sophia. I am so sorry." "Please remember me for the good memories we have shared, and never for my downfall. I will see you all again on the other side," she stated before concluding with "Brianna, I’m coming".

"Kayleigh Scott…I am so unbelievably proud to have you as my daughter, proud and amazed by everything that you have done in your life, your smile was absolutely beautiful, your laughter was unbelievably contagious, your heart was bigger than any of us could have ever understood," Sylvestro wrote. "I miss you so much already, everything that you have been through, every morning you woke up and looked in that mirror, I hope you saw what we all saw.. a beautiful, eloquent, compassionate, courageous beautiful soul," she went on. "I love you so so much!!! Fly high my beautiful daughter, I will not let a day go by that I don't honor your name and everything you stood for Go climb those mountains, live free and let the wind take you away…all my love my beautiful girl! Love your Mumma," the mom said.

"There was so much pain behind that sweet boy’s eyes … This is a story that I know is so important for me to continue sharing," she said in the video documenting her battles. "Not for me, but for those out there who are still fighting social norms, the boundaries set upon them, fighting themselves. Gay, lesbian, bi, trans, pan, whatever, whoever you identify as come out to be counted," she added. At the time, she credited United for helping her transition, saying: "My life changed for the better when I came to United as a flight attendant." "With the support from the company, our business resource group for LGBTQ+ employees, and all of my loving co-workers. I was able to break free from the chains that helped me and to this day, I’m living confidently. It’s my true self," she added. United Airlines sent a tribute statement to <a href="https://people.com/human-interest/trans-flight-attendant-featured-united-airlines-ad-died-emotional-message/">People</a> about Kayleigh's death that read that they were "saddened by the tragic loss of Kayleigh Scott and extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and coworkers." [[facebookwidget||https://www.facebook.com/kayleighgracescott/posts/6072568942753578]] While details surrounding the end of her life remain unclear, she wrote about her struggles in a Facebook post on New Year’s Eve that read: "2022 has been a year packed with upset and difficulty, I saw too much death & loss in my life, I came to realize I work a meaningless job for a company that doesn’t value me as an employee." "I had my heart destroyed, I lost my nice little home and had to downsize significantly and start over," she continued. "I’m really struggling to find happiness and hope. I’m begging 2023 to be better to me. Please." Our thoughts are with Kayleigh's family and friends at this time.
