Caitlyn completed her journey on earth far too soon. A gentle young girl, she had a sense of purpose beyond her years. Intelligent and articulate, Caitlyn was destined to lead a life of accomplishment. She went, however, on her passage to heaven leaving her family and friends heartbroken, My prayers are with Sheri, David, Ryan, and all her family during this time of sadness. While Caitlyn now dances with the angels, her memory will be cherished by everyone who was blessed to know her.

Heaven has a new angel, and she will be forever missed by her family and friends. Caitlyn was a sweet, compassionate, caring person who made this world a better place. Those of us who knew her are richer for it. May God wrap His loving arms around you, may you feel His strength and comfort, and may you dwell on the happy memories Caitlyn gave you in her all too short life. You are lifted in prayer.

Caitlyn brought so much joy to our 8th period class. She was our ray of sunshine. Her Celebration of Life was just that. She had a way of celebrating life, every day. I don't think she wasted a day. That is what made her so special. So wise to know how to celebrate every day.
We created a small memorial in our classroom. It is to honor her and is a place for individual reflection when someone might need to ask "what would Caitlyn do?" This exceptional girl makes us all want to be better people. I will always be so grateful for having known your daughter.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family in this difficult time. I do not know you personally, but I do know Caitlyn was so kind and loving to my daughter who she shared a few classes with. She touched many hearts and will be missed.

In times of tears, remember the laughter. In times of sadness, remember the smiles. In times of loneliness, remember all you shared. We hope it helps you to know you'll have those warm, loving memories forever. Love Nancy & Ed Ramsdell

There are no words to express the loss that Caitlyn has had on her family, friends, and the school community she was a part of. Caitlyn was a person who was gentle and kind and shared that kindness with a friendly smile or words of encouragement to those who needed it. She was focused in her studies and lost the chance to contribute to society in ways we can only imagine. While she is physically gone from our presence, it is clear by the outpouring from those who knew her, that in 16 short years, she made an impact on so many lives. I will always remember, my niece, this soft spoken child, with the big bright brown eyes, long flowing hair, and the heart of an angel.

You are a gift to your family, and to this world. Even though your earthly body lived only a short time, your beautiful sprit will live forever in our hearts and our thoughts Caitlyn.
May you be that angel to look over your family and friends, and continue to touch everyone's hearts in your ever lasting memories to us all still waiting on this Earth, to come be with you and the Lord.

Not fair; a young woman with all the qualities of an outstanding, good person has gone. She was a young lady building the foundational qualities towards a successful career comprised of skill, values, interests and personal traits.
For sixteen years I watched this young girl grow and develop the skills to take her into the future. She had the capacity to stay optimistic and maintain interest in a subject or cause. She had sound moral principles. Caitlyn understood the objectives required for her personal and professional future. She allowed others to be heard and had developed a circle of positive relationships. She had the ability to endure in the face of adversity, and had the understanding and the knowledge of who she was.
It is obvious her father and mother are dedicated parents, as their son, now in college, is also a very good, young person. I love all of them and I know they have a void in their hearts, but they also have beauty in their minds and one day that is where their focus will be.
I am Caitlyn's papa and always will be. There is sorrow in my heart now, but one day it will pass and the beauty of Caitlyn will be forever in my mind. She was a wonderful young lady dedicated to her family and the future. It is the world's loss. Love Always, Papa

Words can't express how saddened we are to hear of your loss. Despite the loss of the physical presence of Caitlyn, we know that God has assigned her to watch over you throughout your life. I pray that God gives your family the strength to bear the great pain. We are always here for you! Rest in peace, Caitlyn.

We can not begin to comprehend what you and your family are going through right now but we would like to offer our deepest condolences to your entire family. Her grandmother, Bonnie, spoke lovingly and frequently about how very loved Caitlyn was and how proud she was of her. Caitlyn will live forever in the hearts of those who loved her.
