Katherine Enos Obituary
of Westford, avid soccer player,
musician, and writer; 14
WESTFORD -- Katherine "Katie" Enos, died on June 30th, 2010, as a result of a pedestrian accident in Westford.
She was born Silver Spring, Maryland on April 5, 1996, daughter of Edward Enos and Marian McCurley of Westford. She spent her early years in Maryland and moved to Westford 11 years ago.
Katie as a young girl took dance early on from the same teacher that taught her mother. During first grade, she began playing soccer and this became her major focus. She played for WYSA (Westford Youth Soccer Association) and later tried out for Delta, a premier soccer club. Her main focus was Goal Keeping and she moved on to play for PASA (Portuguese American Soccer Academy) and most recently was asked to play for FC Stars in Acton. Katie also trained at SoccerPlus camps.
Katie was very musically inclined. She played piano, saxophone, and guitar and was actively taking lessons at the Indian Hill Music School in Littleton. She also began writing her own music and planned to take voice lessons this summer. Katie was also an avid reader, with a small library in her locker at school, and a voracious writer with many story ideas plastering her room.
Katie attended the Col. John Robinson School, the John A. Crisafulli School, and the Lloyd G. Blanchard Middle School in Westford, and would have been a freshman at Westford Academy in the fall. Katie was an excellent student achieving High Honors in her last trimester.
Her survivors include her parents, Edward Enos and Marian McCurley of Westford; a brother, Max P. Enos of Westford; and her grandparents, Peter and Lou Enos of Acton. She is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and remembered by countless friends, teammates, and fellow soccer players.
ENOS -- Visiting Hours will be held at the Badger Funeral Home, 347 King St., Littleton on Wednesday July 7, 2010 from 2-4 and 7-9 pm. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Catherine's Church, Westford MA on Thursday, July 8 at 11 a.m. Donations may be made in memory of Katie to the "Katie Enos Scholarship Fund" at Middlesex Savings Bank.

I had the pleasure of meeting your family in 2007 at "The Cape", where you were staying with the Flanagans. (John is my cousin.) I was shocked and saddened to hear what happened to Katie. My heart goes out to you all...

I was a friend to Katie since the sixth grade. Not as close as I wished...but we were friends in school. This was a tragic event. And she didn't deserve this and the Enos family doesn't deserve to go through this painful loss alone. The entire Westford community is here to support you. Your daughter had a beautiful smile that could light up a room and a talent to write songs and stories that inspired others. Her song she wrote for the eighth grade class of 2010 was inspirational and brought me to tears. The song taught me that my dreams can be endless. Her smile and her beauty and her warming heart will be missed forever. And she will never be forgotten. Our class is going through a painful time and I can only imagine the pain for this family. I am truly sorry for your loss. And on the 2014 class graduation day that I will be in...I hope that you do not mind me adding a note for Katie in my senior paragraph and I hope that she will be mentioned. She will be terribly missed. And I am sorry. This was a shocking loss. I love you Katie Enos...may you rest in peace. And to the Enos family; you will make it through this...I promise.

I've played soccer with Katie on multiple teams for a year, she always pushed me to be my best on and off the field. She was a great friend, and brought a smile to everyones face with her stories at each practice and game. Katie was the only person I knew who could make me laugh during exercises. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

I've worked with Katie's Aunt Joan for many years. Joan so proudly shared wonderful stories of Katie growing and blossoming into the beautiful young lady she had become. We laughed at her antics and even though I didnt personally know Katie, felt a part of her incredible life. Her spirit continues to shine brightly; a beacon lighting the path for others to follow. A remarkable life, wise beyond her years, giving and caring, touching so many people. How proud you all must be.. Katie will never be forgotten. God bless and keep you all in his care during this difficult time.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
