Sweet Katen, I will miss you running out to greet me on the bus. I always looked forward to the hugs and you saying you miss me. You will forever be in my thoughts and my heart. I love you sweet little teddy bear. May your wings stretch far and wide so you can soar high with the angels. I'll see you in my dreams. Forever young. Love Mrs. Anderson

Fly high like that "white-winged dove," baby girl. I'll never listen to Stevie Nicks again without thinking of you. Thanks for enjoying her music with me during class, even when others didn't get it. You were one-of-a-kind, and your spirit and energy will be missed in this world. Mrs. Berndt

Sweet, wild, goofy girl... I don't have many memories and no photos with you since I'm so new to the family but the one memory I do have I will cherish. You were unapologetically yourself and that itself is such an inspiration. You were a light and I wish with my whole heart that we had the chance to het to know each other better. Your my family and I'll love you forever- with love and an aching heart your cousin Gina Ryerson Bass
