My dear Kaitlin. Today should be your 20th Birthday. Instead it is the 2nd birthday without you already. I am missing you so very much it keeps taking my breath away. I wish you were here and everybody could be happy again. I love you!

Kaitlin I miss you so much!! I am still not ready to accept that you are not coming back. Your little Teo reminds me of you every single day.
Just last week I had to buy some Cinnamon Toast Crunch at Costco again. It's been forever because my "Cereal eating monster" is gone.
You would have cereal at least 1-2 times a day.
Love you!

Its been 5 months since you left us Kaitlin, during those times, holidays without you was very difficult for all of us. We decided not to stay home during Christmas. It will never be the same. Our little family are broken forever, it hurts so much thinking that you are no longer with us. If I could get one wish in life, I would wish that you come back to us and be complete and happy Family once again! I miss you and love you so very much! It hurts so bad! I miss your voice, your laugh, and your beautiful smile. Rest easy in heaven sweetie and keep looking down on us! Love you so much!!!
Love, Mom

Kaitlin, Christmas and New Years have come to past. The holidays were emotionally empty without you. Christmas through your eyes was always so exciting and uplifting and memorable, the holiday season will never be the same without you. I miss you so very much, every moment of everyday. Your always in my thoughts and in my heart. I love you Katie-Kate.

Christmas and New Years were emotionally empty without you. I love and miss you dearly my sweet Katie-Kate

4 months you have been gone now!
The pain is still so very fresh. It hurts daily to think of you. What would you and Kevin be up to, what would you get each other for Christmas, would we be planning trips together for next year, would you switch College after finishing your 2 year degree, would you sneak in another animal into the house, would you guys plan to move out.....
You had so much future left in your life it's hard to understand why it was denied to you.
Forever part of our family, forever missed!!!

Thanks Giving has come to past and without you, I have little to be thankful for. Christmas is almost upon us, the thought of celebrating Christmas without you is unthinkable. We can't do Christmas at home without you so this year our little family will send a little the away. We'll be thinking of you with tears in our eyes and a broken heart during this holiday

The last few months have been so rough without you. I can't ever get myself to post anything because I just don't want to accept that you're gone. I just can't. It's to hard to believe it. I still remember Teo and I saying goodbye to you to leave for work that day. We celebrated your birthday and it felt so off without you. With Christmas slowly approaching it's going to just not feel right, I know we only spent one Christmas together, but I was certain we were going to spend more together. I'm never going to stop missing you honestly. It will get easier I guess but it won't go away. I miss everything about you. Your personality made you so unique and beautiful. I keep trying to picture what I would be doing right now if you were still here. Would we be lazy and just watch Netflix or would we be shopping and be young together. I think about you everyday and at night I just miss you more and more. I love you Kaitlin, words still can't express how much I miss you. All this still has me in disbelief. I love and miss you. Thank you so much for the stories you and I shared and the ones that we created. You will forever be in my heart and I'm just so thankful for the memories that I have of us, no one can take those from me. I love you

My dearest Kaitlin, I wish you could have celebrated your birthday with us yesterday. Remembered how excited you were last year when we gave you your gift. I dont think you expected anything and were really surprised.
So wish we would have met your whole family before your accident.
We miss you, your laugh and always pretty smile.

Kaitlin, my sweet and beautiful daughter, its been eight weeks but feels like forever that I have not seeing you. When you left us, part of my heart is empty and it will never be filled. I cry and I miss you everyday! Broken-hearted! I never thought that we will be spending the rest of our lives without you. It hurts! I miss your beautiful smile! I keep praying that I will see you every night in my dream to tell me you are happy and you keep watching us from above. You are now one of Gods beautiful ANGEL! We love you and miss you forever! LOVE MOM.

Wishing you were still here. Some nights I stay awake thinking about you and don't understand how you can be gone. I miss you so very much. It's been hard waking up and going to school knowing you won't be there to meet up or hangout in between breaks. I remember we used to try to park next to each other or in the same lot, we would meet before class and after and meet on our breaks to go eat tacos or something. I remember the time on one of our breaks we went to Safeway to get chicken wings and we went to borst park and fed the squirrels the wings. So many memories, I wish I could go back one more time. I love you kaitlin.

My dear Kaitlin,
I still think of the morning of August 16th every day.
As usual I opened your guys door and let Teo out.
You were sleeping so peacefully next to Kevin. I still can't believe that this was supposed to be the last time I would see you, I still can not believe we will never see your beautiful smile again.
I am devasted! You were way too young to leave this earth. I wish I could change it all and bring you back. I am so thankful we got to spend a wonderful vacation in Germany with you. Kaitlin, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my son so very happy. You will always be a part of our family.
I love you!
And Teo says "woof woof" meaning "mom I love and miss you so very much!"

Katie-kate, oh how I miss you. I cry every day thinking of you. It's been over a month now that you've been gone. The thought of you not being with us is still unbelievable. We visited the sight where you left us 1 month after, and placed a nice memorial to show our love for you. Kaitlin, I love you so much, please look over us, and when it's time,we will be together again. Love Dad

Even though your time with us was cut short, I will forever be grateful that I was given the opportunity to meet you. Just being in your presence made my day better. Losing you has been an incredibly hard experience for all of us, but I am comforted by the fact that you are at peace now. You are loved by so many people.

Kaitlin..
I miss you from the bottom of my heart. You were my childhood best friend. We went everywhere and did everything together. Your smile lit up a room. Your laugh was contagious.
I remember as kids we would always go to the beach and go camping together. You, Elijah , and me would always play in the woods and get lost in our imaginations. I miss the nights we would stay up all night and play video games. Or the nights where we camped out on your trampoline and watch the stars. You were always good at finding the shooting stars. I pray that when I look at the skies tonight that your soul shines through as the brightest star in the sky. Rest In paradise you sweet angel.
