Kaitlyn A. Kaity Garside

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Garside and Lauren,
I was Kaity's third grade teacher at Patrick McGaheran and I am deeply sorry for your loss. I will always remember Kaity's kind ways with all of her classmates. She was truly a wonderful child. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Jill DeLong Berlet

Robyn, Ken & Lauren,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Connie thoroughly enjoyed working with Kaity (and I with Robyn), and we offer any support we can provide. May God Bless You and help you heal.

I was so saddened to hear of your great loss. Your Kaity and my Katie (Fleury) spent many years in school together and always had so much fun. Your daughter was always such a bright light and so happy. We share in your grief and will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. Judy and David Formalarie

Dear Robyn, Ken and Lauren,

I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Kaitlyn and Elizabeth spent many happy times together and we will never forget her beautiful face and contagious smile. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Robyn and Ken,
I knew you both over 25 years ago and today I share a little of your pain. She must have been a beautiful girl. I am so sorry for your loss. I'd like you to know that my heart goes out to you and you have my deepest sympathy.

To Kaitlyn’s family and friends I want to express my deepest condolences. I attended poetry class with Kaitlyn and she was an exceptional person. She was like a bright light to the classroom and her confidence and thoughtfulness spread to everyone around her. My prayers are with you all, and with Kaitlyn.

I know at times like this there are not any words to say that will ease the pain, but I want you to know that you are in my prayers. I enjoyed my summers of being Kaity and Lauren's "nanny" and will keep those happy memories in my heart forever.

To the surviving family and friends of Kaitlyn Garside, I have a need to say that Kaitlyn was one of the few people that could get me to like a poem just by having her read it. Now, the poem Skunk Hour by Robert Lowell will forever be something remarkable and deeply meaningful to me because it was one of her favorites as she expressed to the poetry class that I share with her. She will not be forgotten, and in a memory of verse and rhyme, she will live on.

Mr and Mrs Garside,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. I was very close with Kaity during her first semester at NYU and she was an extraordinary girl who had a deep impact on my life. She was truly one in a million and I will cherish all the great memories I have with her. Kaity meant a lot to me and I will never forget her or the way she brightened my life while she was in it. My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family.
