I was lucky enough to spend almost one hour with Kaelin each day at school. She was a bright light that I felt very lucky to be working with. I loved how she often said, "its ok guys!" I will always remember her great excitiment at seeing her brother in the halls and also how thrilled she was when her dad came to pick her up! Just pure joy! Robin McDermott

Amy, Brian and Ewan my heart and my prayers go out to you. Two years ago a beam of light came into my life, little Kaelin! Images of her bear hugging her brother in the halls and running into her fathers arms with tears will be etched in my memory forever. Her endless smiles and happy disposition made each day a joy! You will be in my heart forever!

Dear Amy, Brian and Ewan,
You are all in my heart. I have so many sweet and happy memories of your little Kaelin. She will always have a special place in my heart. When I think of her I remember how she used to bolt right through the classroom door with a "Hi guys!" and how she called me "Beuker". She was always happy and fun to be around. I wish you peace in your hearts. You are all in my thoughts. Love, Kaelin's Grade 1 teacher, Mrs. Beukers
