Caity was my best friend, at a time when I needed someone most, she was there. I think of her pretty much everyday, I miss her and her laugh, she was a bright spot in my life during a really tough time. Until next time Caity

We had health class together in junior high and she would stop the boys from being mean to me. Sorry to hear she is gone.

So sorry to hear about Caity. My condolences go out to your family. I remember how much fun Rachel and Sara had playing house with Caity in our driveway camper when they were kids. Caity was a natural leader and always brought fun and adventure with her wherever she went.

My heart is broken. I only knew Caity for about a year, but she sure made an impact on my life. Her humor was phenomenal. Her wit, even better. She had the kindest soul and I told her that the day that I met her. I just knew she had a beautiful heart. My deepest sympathy to all who knew and loved her. She'll always have a special place in my heart. Rest In Peace - CaityKins

My heartfelt sympathy to Deb, Mike, and Blake. We will all miss Caity but there can be no pain greater than to lose a child or sibling. Caity's time on earth was too short. God had other plans for Caity. Caity touched many loves because she was a unique and special person. I will never forget all the good times I had with Caity. RIP Caity.

Deb I can not imagine the pain you are going through. I am so so sorry for your loss.
We never really lose those who are dear to us.
Their familiar voices whisper to us when we are alone.
Their images return to us in dreams.
And though at first we are saddened by their departure, in time our sorrow fades and is replaced by vivid memories of happy times spent together.
The realization that those memories will live on within us is comforting and allows us to find peace. Know that I am thinking about you and Blake - Many, many hugs to you and your family. <3

Hey, Sis. I'm here for you. Our beautiful girl Caity brought unfathomable joy to our lives and endured tremendous suffering, yet found it in her heart to love others unconditionally. May her love for us help heal our hurting hearts and draw from our lips that sacred word, Hallelujah.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

I love you, sweet Caitlyn.

I am so grateful and honored that God chose me to be Caity's mom. She was my princess. Rest in the Lord Caity. I love you so so much. My prayers are that everyone hug their family a little longer, take delight in happy colors, smile big, love big, laugh loud and love the family God gave you. Caity did this. I could never have asked for a better daughter. Caity is with the Lord. She is loved, happy and in peace. When you see an orange sky, think of Caity.
