Kylee Christensen Obituary

Kylee Marie Christensen 1987 ~ 2007 MANTI, UTAH - Kylee Marie Christensen, 19, passed away peacefully in her daddy's arms on February 13, 2007. Kylee made her debut 15 minutes before her identical twin sister on July 15, 1987, in St. George, Utah. She was the beloved daughter of Tracy and Karen Tatton Christensen. Kylee and her twin sister came to this earth in imperfect bodies and she struggled valiantly until the very end. Kylee attended Dixie Down Elementary, Manti Elementary, Ephraim Middle School and graduated from Manti High School in 2004. Kylee always had a smile and a friendly "Hi" for everyone. She loved to go "bye bye" and get a coke. Her love of coke remained until her passing. Kylee is survived by her parents and twin sister, Kymberlee Lyn, all of Manti; sister, Jacie Sue (Johnny) Koegel, Columbus AFB, Mississippi; grandparents, Sue Tatton and the late Lynn Tatton, Manti; Delora Christensen, Mona; and the late W. Homer Christensen, who followed Kylee in death two hours later. She will also be greatly missed by her care providers; Liz Parry, Dana Tillack, Lyndsey Crane, Kori Kirkham, and their families, who were a very special and important part of her life. And also her aunts and uncles; James (Kristine) Tatton, Nephi; Lynda (Mike) Wintch, Manti; Scott (LuAnn) Christensen, West Valley; and her many cousins with whom she loved spending time. The family would like to thank hospice nurse, Helen Parry; Primary Children's Medical Center; her many doctors; Jerry Twiggs, Judith Gooch, James Tatton, Lisa Sampson-Fang and Kristin Carroll who cared for her during her life. Her many teachers and therapists; Michelle, Mike, Sherrie, Annette, Wendi and Lorna. Kylee, we love and will miss you very much. You can now walk, talk, laugh, dance and sing to your little hearts content. Funeral services will be held on Monday, February 19, 2007, at 12 Noon, in the Manti 8th LDS Ward Chapel, 295 South Main, in Manti. Friends may call at the ward chapel in Manti on Sunday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. and again at the ward chapel on Monday from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. Burial will be in the Manti City Cemetery. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti. Online guestbook at www.maglebymortuary.com

To kylee's family-
i was just thinking of you guys the other day and I thought i would check in to see how you were doing...under the circumstances. There are never any words that will make the pain or sorrow go away and I am not going to try and make things better. I know that kylee will always be with you! She is watching down on you and your family and she is your littlw guardian angel. There are probably still many questions that you are wondering and that may not be answered in this life time. Keep mmoving forward with the goal in mind to see kylee again. That is what i have had to do since my twin brother died two and half years ago. That's what pushes me forward..knowing that i will be able to see him again! The lord is also there to carry you when the times come and you feel like you can't or don't want to take another step or just can't breathe any longer. He is there right by your side helping you along the way! My love and prayers go out to you and I may peace fill your hearts in your times of sadness and sorrow! remember "Angels are never too distant to hear you!"

I send my love-

TO THE CHRISTENSEN FAMILY-

YOU DON'T KNOW ME BUT I NOTICED YOUR DAUGHTERS OBIT IN THE PAPER AND I COULDN'T HELP BUT BECOME DRAWN TO HER PICTURE AND THE LOVING WORDS THAT WERE WRITTEN. I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. I KNOW THERE ARE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS THAT WILL EASE THE PAIN AND HEARTACHE. YOUR DAUGHTER'S PICTURE IS PRICELESS AND SHE HAS A SMILE THAT COULD MELT ANYONE'S HEART! I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY WHO ARE PRAYING FOR YOU AND ARE THERE TO COMFORT AND LOVE YOU! I WANT HER TWIN SISTER TO KNOW THAT SHE WILL ALWAYS HAVE KYLEE WITH HER NO MATTER WHAT AND NOW SHE HAS HER OWN LITTLE GUARDIAN ANGEL. I LOST MY TWIN BROTHER AT 18 YEARS OLD, ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, AND SO I KNOW A LITTLE OF WHAT SHE MAY BE GOING THROUGH! HANG IN THERE GIRL! SHE'LL ALWAYS BE THERE NO MATTER WHAT!

AGAIN I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN AND I KNOW SHE BLESSED THE LIVES OF SO MANY! MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY AT THIS TIME.
