Beautiful, sweet girl <3
It´s been over 15 years since you left this Earth. I still think about you every single day. The older I get the more heartbreaking it is to think about how young you were when you were ripped away from us. My heart is still heavy when I hear your name. You should have kept growing up with me. We should´ve had many more years together meeting at the fence line, talking, singing, laughing and playing. I still hold and treasure the little gifts you gave me as a kid. I miss you SO much and love you SO much.
I hope you can feel all of the love I´m sending you. You are in my heart forever!

Kaitlyn Harper. It's taken me 13 years to grieve your death. I didnt know you for very long. I met you in 5th grade. With only a few weeks left of school year, my family moved and I transferred schools. I was so nervous but my first day there, I sat next to you. We bonded over our names being the same, and asked each other at the same time to sit together at lunch. You had such confident and beautiful energy. We started the same middle school and the friendship continued. At the time you passed, we weren't going to the same school anymore. It had been a few months at least since I'd talked to you. But that didn't change your importance to me, and my love for you...I found out about the accident while at school from a newspaper article....i was devastated..
You were much too young, your beautiful soul still had so much to do. Youre presence was an amazing one. Rest in peace, girl

Its been 9 years since you were taken from us. You were taken too early and way too soon. I miss having my baby sister around and here to knock me on the back of the head when I do something stupid. Your smile could brighten any room you walked into. You could always make me smile no matter how upset I was. I miss having you here. You meant the world to me. I know you were there with mom and Aunt Chrissy the night I wrecked my motorcycle. As I laid there in the middle of the road while the EMTs put me in a neck brace and loaded me onto the stretcher I saw all three of you watching over me. I am glad to know I have the three of you watching over me. I love and miss all of you. I have your favorite saying tattooed on me so I never forget you or your wild spirit. SING LOUD DANCE CRAZY BABY SISTER. I will always love you. I wish you were here to meet your niece Serenity Mae. I know you and mom will keep a close eye on her. I love and miss you so much.

I miss you BDFQ.. I think about you everyday and wish you were so I can someone to talk to. You were the only person I could really be myself around. I miss the fun and exciting times we always had. I hope heaven is treating you well, much better than it did down here. I hope you are falling down any stairs,lol. I know you are probably watching over me, well I hope you are, and showing the way to go and keeping me on the right track, for the most part. I love you Katie and cant wait to see you again.

I get so mad and upset with myself. If I didn't go to the counselor that day I wouldn't have seen the note that said you were gone. I tried not to cry as I left when I went to class, the class we say next to each other in. I walked in and couldn't even sit in my seat knowing you weren't going to be next to me. We always walked to gym together after that class and I walked alone. I remember Austin coming up to me and saying "you know what happened don't you" I looked up with tears in my eyes and just walked away. I sat on the bleachers with my hood over my head crying so hard. Our group came up to me asking what was wrong and where you were. I just told them you were dead. They instantly starting crying and soon the whole school knew. I shouldn't have told anyone and I'm sorry Kaitlyn ): I just want you back so badly. It's not fair that you're not here!

Wow, i cant believe its 3 years today that we lost you, but the pain still feels the same. Well i miss you oats. and some times i still talk to you, i hope you here me when i do. Recently i've stopped believing in heaven and hell and god and the devil, but then i think back to you and i remember there is no way that any 'god' would just let you rest forever. you arent the type to rest. (: and then it brings me to the realisation that i have no idea where the people i lost are, or where they woll be when people lose me. but i hope and pray that if heaven really does exist, that i'll see you up there, and my grandmother too. You where/and are the bestfriend i've ever had, and dont think that just because i write on here today, that i wont write on your birthday. 2.17.95. of course i remember, what are best friends for if not to keep secrets and remember everything important about one another. well, i love youuuuu.

P.S. the picture is a tattoo im getting behind my ear for you and my abuela. <3

Kaity,
So I'm sitting here in school and your on my mind. I miss you sooo much, but I know your in a better place now and I can't wait to be there with you. I miss all the times we had together! I looked through my memory box the other day and saw all the letters you wrote to me and all the pictures you drew me and I couldn't help but smile! I still have the shirt you made me and the belt with the horse on it that you gave me!I'll never get rid of them. Everyone misses you tons!! Your my angel and always will be (: I talk to you every night, but it's so hard cause I know you can't answer. I wanna call my Poppy and ask to talk to you, but I know your not there.. I wish I had another chance to say goodbye. Remember that I love and miss you and I'm always thinking about you!! Kaity, you were more than a cousin to me, I felt like I had another sister. Me, you, mikie, and josh always fought playing hide and go seek outside after dinner..I miss it. Watching Oliver and Company every night before we ment to bed...those were the days. Now that your in Heaven be sure to be looking down on me and know that I'm looking up at you with the biggest smile on my face that will never fade away! I wish that I could say this to your face and not have to write it all down, but I know you are watching over me right now reading it. Please remember we all love you and can't wait to be with you again (: Kaity everyday I see a rainbow I feel like your sending me a present and I love that feeling(: On the count of 3 I'll look up and you look down and we can send a smile to eachother, 1....2....3 I LOVE YOU BUNCHES KAITY! <3333 XOXO

Dear Kaitlyn,
I Miss You So Soo Much. You Where My Best Friend, I Told You Secrets I Was Afraid To Tell Other People, And You Told Me Yours Too. I Haven't Found Some One As Nice Or Good Or Caring Or Funny As You. But The Truth Is I Haven't Been Looking. I Forgot The Dance You Showed Me, And Every Time I Try To Redo It I Get It Wrong. :'[ I Wish I Could Remember, Everything We Talked About. I Remember Most Of It, The Dance To I'm So Hood, Lol. The Bee, That One Was The Day Before You, Well You Know, Left Me. That Day, When It Happened, I Heard Rumors About It, Whats Funny Is That I Actually Believed Them. These Crazy Kids Coming Up To Me And Telling Me Over And Over Again, It Felt Like A Knife. And I Cry All The Time Now.My Grandma Passed Exactly 3 Weeks After. And I Miss Her Too. I Miss You Both, And Even Though I May Never See You Again I'll Always Keep The Secrets That You Told Me Because I Know That You're Still Keeping Mine. I Miss You Sooo Much Katie. :'[ I'll Never Forget You If You Never Forget Me. I Swear To It. I Love You Bestie.Forever And Always

November 15, 2009

good evening my lil punkin, I love you so much and I miss you dearly! I miss everything that we did , even as stupid as it sounds when you would sit there and just play with my hair, making things, Kaity's style of course... I miss it all and I wish that could bring you back and do it all, then my heart wouldn't be so heavy. Joshua misses you so bad, I have gotten him to go out and talk to the stars so hopefully you can hear him, it helps him. I love you and I miss you love mommy

hello my dear, I was just thinking of you and thought I would drop you line. I miss you dearly and so does your brothers, I still walk Josh out at night so that he can say good night to you by talking to the stars. I hope you hear him. I am doing a few things around here for you. I have 2 dolls that I am doing and 1 am raffling off in memory of you to help the kids out at school, so all the money raised from that will go to the kids. I miss you so much, I can't say it enough. I heart aches for you all the time and it doesn't get any easier either. I love you forever my punkin....xoxoxo

May 2, 2009

to my little punking, I miss you so much, I think of you every minute of the day and I find myself wondering what we would be doing if you were here now. You tought me so much in the short time you had here on earth, the biggest thing is that everyday is a new day, it doesn't matter what happened yesterday but live for today and the smiles that you always had I can't forget.

Hi, Kaity, Daddy here. If you can grasp this where you are please know this. I love you and always will. You were my little girl no matter the powers that be. I think about you everyday with the heaviest of heart. My last memory of you was you and I at the Dairy Queen just a couple weeks before that fateful day. You made me laugh over and over again over the dummest of things. I'll always remember whisking you away whenever I was allowed to steal you to me. Going to the theatre. The beach. Even the way you said "that's lame, dad" and held your hand up whenever I talked about my cycling. I love you, my little girl. I'll never forget you.

I MISS YOU SOOO MUCH! When my mom told me the news i broke out in tears! I couldn't believe it! Everyday i think about how much i miss you, but i know your in heaven looking over me right now! I wish i could have been there to say goodbye and tell you that you are the best cousin ever and i am going to miss you bunches. We had so much funn when i came to visit.. folling around with mike and josh! I am going to miss those times. You were going to grow up to be such a pretty girl, but now I have my own angel thats there for me, one that I love! Your drawings were AMAZING...they may have been some of the best drawings I have seen. Katie, you were more than a cousin to me...it felt like I had another sister. Please remember to keep all those good times in your heart. Josh, Mike, Evie, Poppy... I know you all miss her alot but she is looking over all of you everyday! Katie, everytime i was with you, you put a smile on my face...but now when i think of you I can't help but cry. I miss you and love you with all my heart and I can't wait for the day me and you are together again! LOVE YA! xoxoxox

kaitlyn, when i heard the news of what had happened, i just started crying. all i could remember was how sweet you were, how young and beautiful. i remember we'd always hang out in elementary, and even though i hadn't seen you since then, it was probally one of the hardest days i've ever had. my mom went to your veiwing, i wanted to go but i couldn't, i just don't think i would of been able to see such a thing happening to a friend of mine who i love and miss so much. my mom told me how beautiful you looked. i can picture you, kaitlyn. being that beauiful girl you are and always have been. i've cried so many times latley, it just hurts because you were so young, such an amazing person. everyday i pass by the scene on my bus, i feel like crying but then i remember your up there in heaven, watching down, smiling. you didn't deserve this, but the loss of you has taught me so much. but i promise, just for you, that now i'm going to live a little more, and see old friends and everything. this experience has brought so many people together, you wouldn't even believe it. sometimes i feel bad for myself, knowing that a person like you is really gone. but then i start to feel bad for everyone else who hadn't had the chance to meet you. always remember how much you are loved and that people miss you so much down here. i can't wait till the day i see you up there in heaven. the sun has been shinning brighter, and the stars really have had more of a sparkle to them since you've arrived in heaven. everyone up there is lucky to be with you. rest in peace kaitlyn, i love and miss you. you will never be forgotten<3

i can't believe your gone. we didn't know each other too well, but i did know that you were an amazing person. You were always the one to be a leader in gym class when you went to powell, it's a shame that you're gone, but we all know you're doing much better now. i'll never forget you and i wish the best of luck to you and your family.

I saw those rainbows Sunday, so bold and clear, and with a mother's heart knew that Kaitlyn had put them there for you to see that she was alright. I was overcome with emotion for your family and hoped that you had seen them too. May you find peace in the memories of your beautiful girl.

OK KATIE,
Yes i know i wrote in your guest book a couple of days ago but i cant stand to believe that you are gone this seems one of the real only ways to connect with you now.I pray at night for you to rest in peace and that your family and friends will get through this to.So many people at school cant believe that this tragic accident has happened, i still cant get over it myself.I wont ever forget when we were in sheriffs camp together we had so much fun together.You would always tell me things on the bus ride home....I will never ever forget you katie.You will always be in my heart.The day i went to say my last goodbye to you in person there were beautiful rainbows outside and i understand you like rainbows so that to me and my family was your way of saying that your ok and that you are watching over your friends and family.I will keep in touch with oyur family all the time i hope you hear my prayers for you at night.
I Love You Katie!

to my beautiful angel. last night was the hardest night of my life, cause I knew I had to say my final goodbye and that I would never be able to touch you again.My heart breaks because there are so many things that mommy wanted to do with you and now I can't. I will forever cherish the 13 years I had with my punkin and will forever hold onto the memories that I have of you. You done the ditzy things that you done were oh ever so funny and the way you talked so highly of all your friends was above your age. However you painted the perfect picture for mommy and all to see last night when you put the rainbow above the funeral home because you know that right there at the end of that rainbow was mommys pot gold, you my precious little angel. You will never be forgotten and you will always be here with mommy in my heart and in your spirit. I want to thank my precious girl teaching the world to be a better place with her smile and loyalty to her friends..... I love you mommys little punkin.........angel girl

You were so beautiful lying there, Kaity. It was almost as if you had that fake sleeping smerk and all I had to do was tickle you to make you laugh. But the logical me knew better. I regret us not being together more and I miss you so bad. Dad

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Katie,
I love you and miss you, I wish this hadn't happened to you. There is no control over God's plan and I know this but I can't help but to keep asking him why? You were like a daughter to me and I would have done anything for you. There is so much I wanted to do for you and so much to say but now I have to send it to you through prayers. I will always love you and will never forget you for the rest of my life.

Your Loving Uncle Eric

OMG! i cant believe she died she went to my school i didnt even know her but there is so many people that said she was nice but the reason why i dont known her is because she was new to the school and she seems like a nice person i wish none of that happened it is really sad but she is with GOD! and she is with the right person.

I didn't know Katie (she's the neice of a friend), but it's obvious that she made the world a more beautiful place while she was here. I'm convinced that she'll continue to do so as her spirit surrounds all those who love her. She is even touching the hearts of those who never had the pleasure of knowing her. To Katie I say thanks for the joy that you brought to the world and to the family I wish you much love in these dark days of grieving. I can't imagine your pain and I'm sure it will never heal, but in time let Katie and those you love help light your way out of the darkness.

With Sadness and Heartfelt Condolences,

Best Friends Always and Forever

Katie was the best friend. She was more than just a friend, she was like a sister to me. Art was her passion, where ever she went, she will think of new pictures to draw. We were BFFL's (Best Friends For Life). We would tell each other everything. One of us would be there for each other when the other was feeling blue. When we were living together we would always talk to each other until we fell asleep. She was also the Klutziest person that I've ever met. What I am just trying to say is she was the coolest, most funniest person I have ever met in the whole entire world. I wish she was here right now. I love you and miss you.
Love your BDFQ,
Sierra
