Just wanted to say hello Kaitlynn. We have never forgotten you after all these years. Your amazing light still pierces our hearts. I know heaven is rejoicing with you playing the role of an important angel singing dancing & watching over those you love so fiercely. My son & I were speaking of you recently, remembering your many kindnesses to him. Please grab a piece of light to cast upon his heart as he makes his way in this ever-changing world. Peace be with you in heaven now & always.

As I sit here at work, I can't help but to think about you as I do everyday. I miss you terribly. Your smile, your voice, your laugh, your touch, but most of all, YOU.

Things become harder for me the closer that it gets to your birthday. I always try to keep my sanity everyday, but I am entitled to crack sometimes.

You are my strength amongst your brothers and sisters.

I truly believe that you give me wings to keep going day to day.


I love you my sweet angel, my love, my daughter...

love you always and forever,

There are no words to describe my feelings everyday knowing that you are not here with us... Some days are worse than others, but I do my very best to stay busy and focused because I know in my heart that this is what you would want me to do.

It has been a struggle here lately. Trying to figure out if I am coming or going. Sometimes I crack on the inside even when everyone else thinks that I am the strongest person they know on the outside.

Everything that I do reminds me of you....

I miss you sweetheart, so much that it hurts. I still question sometimes, maybe not out loud, but to myself.

One day we will see one another again, and Katie I cannot wait to wrap my arms around you and give you the biggest kiss ever..

I love you and miss you SO much!

Love Always,

Momma

Well yesterday you would have been 15. It was bittersweet for me and I did my best to remain someone normal. I just wish that you would be home with us where you should be. We bought you some flowers but was not able to go out and see you due to the weather. Im sure that you were singing and dancing away up there...

We miss you baby girl!

love you always,

My dearest Kaitlynn,

As I began my ride to work this morning, you were weighing very heavy on my mind. It is so hard to hold back the tears when it comes to you. Every song on the radio that came on just made me cry even more. All I could do is picture you in the back seat in the middle singing along to all the words of the songs that came on. I cried tears of hurt and joy at the same time. Hurt because you are no longer here and joy because I still have those memories of you. I miss you baby more than anyone knows..... I do my best to keep my composure around your brothers and sisters, but sometimes I just can't hold back the tears.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I am going to miss you being there with our family enjoying dinner. I do know that you are here in spirit always and you protect us no matter where we are. Its crazy but sometimes I can feel you aroung me. I am sending you a HUGE hug from me to you in Heaven! (((HUGS)))

I love you baby girl; Always,

Momma

I am just sitting here at work and thinking... I miss you baby. To hear all your brothers and sisters tell me Happy Birthday, but I can't hear it from you. I miss you SO much. Your voice, your laugh, you pouty little face and most of all your presence. I know that you are looking down upon me and probably missing the same things from me. It breaks my heart more and more every single day knowing that I can't see you... I love you sweetheart more then anyone knows...


Love,
Mom

Just sitting here at work thinking about you. Some days are harder than others, but my love for you will always remain the same. You are my life, always have been and will forever be. I miss you more and more each day. I am still not sure how I manage to be sane without you here. I try to be as strong as I can possibly be for our family, but inside it kills me. I will always keep your memory alive Katie. One day we will be reunited again and when I see you I will give you the biggest hug and kiss! I love you my sweet angel.

Love Always,

Kristal Minter

June 19, 2013

Hello again Regina,

My name is Kristal Minter and I am the mother of Joseph Minter. He attended SMMS with Kaitlynn and was in 6th grade when he met her. You may remember that Kaitlynn helped Joseph fend of bullies who were targeting him and also helped him get thru the death of his sister earlier that year.

We just wanted to let you know that we are here and we have never forgotten her. We think happy thoughts when we hear her name.

I have followed your entires on Kaitlynn's Legacy.com site as you have chronicaled the many challenges you have faced thru the years. I know how tough it is to stay positive, but stand-fast and know that God is with you always and the rest of us are here pulling for you too. I have found that "God is my strength and refuge" and even when we fill most alone, He is there to gently nudge us thru.

We are united in similar tragedies and in my mind we are forever “Sisters in Christ”. I am praying for you and think of you often. We still visit Kaitlynn's gravesite from time to time and often say prayers for your family.

Please know that Joseph really loved Kaitlynn and looks forward to the day when they can again resume their friendship in heaven. I think of her as a precious jewel who adorns heaven adding sparkle and bling wherever she goes. I see her as a greeter angel, helping to welcome others as they make their way thru heaven's gate.

Also, please know that some of God's most important work takes place when we are broken; thus allowing us to fully open our hearts and invite God's healing. May God wrap you in His warm embrace and comfort you now & always.

Kaitlynn was Joseph's hero, but I have never told you that you, Regina are my hero. You are a fantastic mother, the only complication is that you have one foot on earth and one foot in heaven.

I know that Kaitlynn is with you and is very proud of you Regina. She wants you to be happy too. She knows that you are inspiring others with your story of strenth, courage and resilience.

Sending kind regards and well wishes for healing, harmony and balance as you make your way.

I miss you dearly...

Regina Martin

June 18, 2013

Katie,

I miss you so much! I have been crying the past two days, cause I have so much going on and with you not being here; just makes it worse. BUT all I can do is look at your pictures and see your beautiful smile and it makes me smile...

It has been so tough on me but I try to cope with it the best that I know how...

I love you my angel,

Your presence always lit up the whole room katie, and I'll be honest; it still does. We always talk about you and the silly things that you would do whether it was pouting, making us laugh or you just being you.

Today makes 8 months since you left us and I am finding it harder and harder to cope with you not being here with me.

I miss you so much and think about you all day everyday. Not just your presence, but your memory of the silly little things that you would do to make me laugh us or even when you would pout.

I would give anything to see your beautiful face again.

I know that you are here with me in spirit, but it isn't the same. You are my baby girl, my life, my heart and soul....

I love you sweetie, more than anyone will ever know.

Love Always,

As the days go by I find it harder and harder for me to keep my head held high. I try to remain strong for our family but it is becoming more and more difficult. I do believe that it is YOU that pushes me and gives me the strength that I need for our family.

Kaitlynn, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. Your laugh, your smile, your voice, but most of all; YOU.

I pray all the time to GOD and you to help me get through this the best way possible. I know that you miss me just as much as I miss you my love.

I love you Kaitlynn Nicole!

Regina,

I wanted to share a few thoughts about motherhood. Ancient Romans believed that a Mother's bond with her child was so strong that she could feel the child's heartbeat from Heaven. American Indians sanctified motherhood, and saw it as a special gift - taking it as a sign that Mother Earth wished us to continue forward. Christians count it among the greatest of all blessings, and Mother Mary is known the world over for generations past, present and future.

I wouldn't trade even one day of motherhood for one million days of youth or for a lavish life with endless money, and riches. There is no greater gift than to love another completely, totally and unconditionally.

Today may you hear Kaitlynn's heartbeat from Heaven as it grounds you here on earth. May her kindness & love be a light for the entire world to behold. Joseph asked me to send his regards and to thank you for sharing her with us.

Light & love,

Regina Buckeridge

Dear Kaitlynn,
I've been thinking a lot about you lately. Who would have thought I would have lost you. I would like to share some memories of you..
I remember seeing you socializing with everyone because you worked so hard on being popular.
I remeber us laughing at the craziest things!! Remeber at flag tryouts Mrs. Massey's skirt flew up and we all saw her panties and screamed!!
I remember running to give you a hug in the caferteria. I remeber a lot of things booh.. but I do remember our best times!! You were there when I needed you and I was there when you needed me.. I cry everynight thinking of you. I want to be with you again someday! Believe me girl it's hard living without you to guide me! Haha! I know you're in heaven now because you were nice, funny,beautiful, smart and I could go on forever but the main reason is that you were the most religious out of all of us! You never cussed, lied, stole, or fought with anyone! So god wanted you early! I know how bad you wanted to be homecoming maid.. I wanted it for you too. Save a peice of light for me.. but I might take a while!! Life is good. But it would be amazingg if you were here! I love you and always will best friend!

Regina,

Please know that you are not alone. As your Sister-In-Christ, I am here with you. In the moments is seems as though you are not bare the burden any longer, God is with you. When your heart is heavy, He is there to lighten your thoughts, and to help lesson your load. The suddenness of losing your child leaves a hole in your soul wider than any ocean, and more vast than a desert, and it also leaves behind memories that forever change the way you love. We too know what that loss is like. I wish so much that I could take this pain from you.

(I have written on Kaitlynn's Legacy site before, sharing a story my child told me about how Kaitlynn helped him with a kid that was bullying him frequently. She stood up to the boy, and afterword he left Joseph alone, and to-date never bothered him again. All thanks to Kaitlynn's courage to stand up for others. I am so thankful to her for her kindness.)

As I read your last Legacy.com entry, it reminds me of our loss when Joseph's sister, Heather Nicole Freret-Delaughter passed January 22, 2011. She was 27 years-old, and left behind a beautiful two year-old daughter. I write the entries as a tribute to Heather for her daughter, Ava, in hopes that Ava will read them some day. I also write them for me, in an effort to document our journey through grief, and our process in saying good-bye. We have noe endured through a year of firsts without her. Without a doubt, it has been one of the greatest challenges we faced. The first Easter, Valentines, 4th of July 4th, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas holidays were so very difficult. Each day brought challenges, sorrow and happiness too, as we came to grip with our new state of "normal".

Most people do not understand that grief comes in waves. Some times the waves are gentle and easy, but other times they are rough and tumble.


I recall that there were times I did not believe that I could endure the loss that had been thrust up me, if even for one more moment. Then God would come to me, He would open a door, and gently nudge me through it, as I crossed through the door, I could feel the healing begin. At night sometimes Heather would come to me in my dreams. I often looked forward to sleeping for that reason, so that I could see her once again. The last time I dreamt of her, "she told me she had crossed over, and that she was happy and at peace". She found the tranquility and true love she had been seeking all her life. I found enormous peace in those words.

I am wishing all good things for you today. I wish that joy & sunshine will find it's way to your heart again. Please know that Joseph & I are thinking of you in these difficult times. We pray that God holds you in His radiant light and that He heals the past, blesses the present, as we dream of the future. My heart is with you now & always - as we have one thing in common: We had beautiful daughters who were fierce in everyway, and now they are amazing angels. Though they are residing in heaven, we miss them dearly here on earth.

With the greatest of Christian love,

Regina Buckeridge

Only if you knew just how much I missed you. I wake up thinking about you and go to be thinking about you. You are ALWAYS weighing heavy on my mind. This is one of the most horrifying things that I have ever had to deal with and that is losing my baby girl. I love you sweetie, more than anyone knows. We will be together again one day and I will run up to you and hold you tight!!

Forever and Always,
Momma

May our gracious Lord bless you & keep you. May God bring you the peace and happiness each of you so richly deserve in this New Year. Joseph & I were remembering the events of the last year & Kaitlynn was on our minds during the holiday season. May this new year bring happiness, healing, and a renewed faith that many good things await us, and that there are truly angels among us!~

Light & love,
