I LOVE YOU KATE AND I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, TAKE CARE OF EVERYONE AT YOUR END.

Merry Christmas Katie,

I miss you so much, the holidays just aren't the same without you. You were always the last one to fall asleep on Christmas Eve and the first awake on Christmas Morning. Today we are going to Grandma and Grandpa Wallace's (one of your favorite places) to celebrate Christmas. I have so many memories of Christmas and each includes you. I love you so much and know that you are with me always.

Merry Christmas Baby Girl,

Love you, Mom

I KNOW IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I WROTE YOU, BUT IT HASN'T BEEN SO LONG SINCE I THOUGHT OF YOU. WAY TO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ME IN THE LAST 3 AND A HALF YEARS. STARTING WITH YOU. ONE WOULD THINK IT WOULD GET EASIER AFTER 4 YEARS BUT THAT IS NOT SO. KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU EVERY DAY. TAKE CARE OF MY GREG AND GRANDPA. IF I KNOW YOU GUYS YOUR UP THERE HAVING A TOMATO FIGHT.
LOVE YOU ALWAYS

To My Beautiful Daughter, Oh Katie, this is so hard, as I miss you so much. Four long, sad years and yet it is as fresh in my mind as that Sunday you left the house, the last phone call that you were at the fair having fun and we had the knock on the door. Those words still haunt my memory, "she didn't make it". Well I know you did make it to a better place, but even knowing that doesn't take away the pain of never being able to hug you.

I know I need to accept the things I cannot change, but God knows I need help, and You helping me, I am making it, until we meet again.

Everybody is going to the Pathfinder this coming weekend and as always I’m sure that will be sharing memories, laughing at the fire remembering things you said or did. I just know you will be there too!

God has a beautiful angel in you, and I think He took you, so you could help all of us through our trial and tribulations. That was your mission on this earth, and you did it well. Now you can help so many more with your wonderful spirit. I keep you close, and we travel many paths together. I know in this life, I can handle anything. I have survived for four years after loosing you, my beautiful daughter, and after that, anything is a piece of cake. I am going to say so long for now, but we are never far apart. I know as I walk along, you are only a half a step behind.

Love you,
Mom

Katie,
It's been awhile since I wrote to you. Thanks for you being in my dream the other day,it was so nice to see you again, and thanks for this poem I loved it. See you at christmas.

"My Mom is a survivor"

My Mom is a suvivor,
Or so I've heard it said.

She wears a smile for others...
A smile of disguise!
But through Heaven's door I see,
Tears flowing from her eyes.

My mom tries to cope with death,
To keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows,
It is her way to survive.

As I watch over my surviving mom,
Through Heaven's open door....
I try to tell her that angels,
Protect me forevermore.

I know that doesn't help her...
Or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her..
And show her that you care.

For no matter what she says...
No matter what she feels,
My surviving mom has a broken heart,
That time won't ever heal. But I can hear her crying at night,
When all others are in bed.

I watch her lay awake at night,
and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her,
To help her understand.

But like the sands on the beach,
That never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mom,
Who thinks of me each day.

Katie, have a happy thanksgiving, and say hi to grandpa for us.

LOVE YA ALWAYS KATIE
AUNTIE PAM

Katie,
It's wierd being a senior without you. Homecoming is coming up and so is powderpuff, I know you would want to beat the underclassmen, hopefully we will make you proud. Sometimes it all feels like a dream like you never left, but when your voice isn't heard in the hallways at school that dream becomes reality again. You are greatly missed Katie.

Screamer I miss you everyday. Every time I look at my tattoo on my leg I miss you even more. I know we weren't close as we got older but as kids you, me, and Eric were a trio. I still remember riding mine and Eric's monster trucks and you riding right next to eric in his. I will always remember and miss you little cousin.

Katie and family,

I have been thinking of you all this week. I went to pull a book off my shelf on Friday to start reading it, and the flyer from Katie's service fell out. It's hard to believe that two years has gone by, and yet it some ways it seems like five. I just wanted you to know that I think of you guys a lot.

Hi Katie.
I miss you.
It was my b-day on the 28th of this month and I was just remembering the phone call I got from my mom the day after my b-day 2 years ago. I will never forget that. My heart sank.
I miss you.

Katie,

I was sitting here at work and thinking of you today, I do not think there is a day that goes by that you are not missed by your fellow classmates and their parents. I certainly do miss that contageous laugh of yours and the phone calls from the bleachers at the football games.

I know you are always watching over us and that to this day we can still hear your beautiful laugh in the bleachers at the high school. God Bless you Katie! We miss you

KATE,

HAPPY GOLDNEN BIRTHDAY.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, part of a beautiful whole.
They give me comfort when I thinkI am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.

I love you Kate, miss you.
Kate take care of grandpa.
Kory just called me while I was
writing this to say they just
had there baby boy. I know he's
going to be a little angel just like you are. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE

Laura Martinez

February 7, 2007

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.

Hey Katie... I know you're reading this from where you are so I'll act as if I'm talking to you in person. I know we weren't ever close when you were alive, but I want to let you know that I do miss you and I really miss having you in my Foods class. That was always so much fun! I'm sorry I never got to say the things to you that I wanted to say when you were here. I wasn't exactly the nicest to you, but now that you are gone I realize that you were a great person and inspired so many people. You are truly missed here and I just wanted you to know that. Watch over all of us and we promise never to forget you!

I can't believe it's been a year. I miss you so much Katie. I know I'm not the only one either. Going back to school is going to be tough again this year. Anytime I saw you, you always had a smile on your face and that is greatly missed. I will never forget our times together. I know I will see you again someday and that will be a good day. Not a day goes by that you don't go through my head at least once. You will always be a part of me.

P.S. *You are somebaody*

I cannot believe a year has gone by without you, you are missed every day. your contageous laugh, the way you would steal Em's phone at the game and call me, or yell across Knowlans parking lot at me. You are always in our thoughts and prayers, love you sweetie. and remember you are somebody.

I was thinking of the whole family today and wondering how they were doing. Losing Katie put a big hole in your family. With time it will heal, but nothing will ever be able to replace it. She will always be in your heart, prayers and thoughts. There is nothing anyone can do or say to take that away. I miss Katie alot and my nephews to. One of these days I will have to make it over there to see all of you. Hope today wasn't as hard of a day as it was last year. I miss you all and wish you the best.

Hi Katie Sweetie,

I am thinking of you today and of your family-it saddens me to know how hard her day will be and the rest of her life without your smile and those dimples!! I know someday we will all see you again-and that lightens my heart a little-I just wanted to say I love you Katie and miss you and your joy of life and all the calls from you-your cuteness had a way of getting your way and I loved that about you!

Love Kimmy & Girls

This has been a tough year without bonding with you hun!! It seems like just yesterday we went for a drive on HWY 3 and talked. Then of course went to DQ for our kid twist cones haha Or better yet running down by the river. Even though we didnt run much we still talked and laughed it off. I miss you so much. But I know your in a better place watching over us all. I love you katie and I cant wait to see you again.

It has been one year today, I love you and miss you so much. I remember when you had the whole house up at 4AM one Saturday because you were singing so loud in the bathtub, when you dressed Adam up in your swimsuit and when you and Eric opened your Christmas gifts early, rewrapped them, then opened them again with the family.

I love you Katie and I know we will be together again someday. Love Mom

When I seen you the other day Kellee, my heart broke all over again for you-we have known each other forever it seems-I think of you and Katie so often, if you ever need to talk - just let me know-I am here for you, I couldn't imagine if I were in your shoes. Katie's smile and laugh were infectious-they are my favorite memory of her, I knew you at her age-she was you all over again. Her smile, her looks,her dimples and her bubbly fun attitude-simply lovable!! i hope someday kellee you can find some way to ease your heartache-just remember-you and Katie are thought of everday-she will never be forgotten.

The last time I talked to my neice katie was a few year's ago. She was mad at me for not being home the first time she called and told her grandma Starr to tell me I was grounded. When I got home she called again, I asked her how long I was grounded for and she told me forever. I miss Katie,Eric, and Adam comming over to the house. Katie and Adam would take one bite out of a donut and hide it for the next time they came over and then do it again and again. The last time I saw Katie I was babysitting them for my brother. Katie and Adam conded me into letting them stay up untill about 2 in the morning, but you just can't say no to their cute little face's. Love Alway's, Aunt Valarie

When you come visit me

you set your heart free.

You get down on your knees

and look up in the sky to pray to me.

Then you feel a wind passing by

that's when you know it's me saying hi.

You start to feel a comfort of warmth

knowing that I'm there.

I will have to leave in awhile.

So don't grieve over me with your sorrow.

There's always tomorrow.

You will see me in your dreams,

and just like magic I will appear.

To your ears you will hear me

then you will say hi to me.

In awhile I will say goodbye to you

and let you cry for a few.

Don't hold it in,

that would be a sin.

Remember there's always tomorrow

when you'll see me again.

Today is Katie's bday and I put this poem in here for her and her family. Maybe it will bring some comfort knowing that the lil things like the wind passing or a bird chirping is her way of saying Hi, I'm here I haven't gone anywhere. I believe lil things like that are signs from angels above looking down on us. It is going to take a long while to recover from this, but remember I am always here if you ever want someone to talk with.

Take care

Love,

Andrea, Kali, Kyla

My Baby Girl,

Tomorrow is your 16th birthday. Happy Birthday, I miss you ever so much, I miss the phone calls, your smile, you asking to go shopping, all the why can't I do it mom, the I love yous and most of all I miss your laugh. I don't know why I said you could spend the night at Mandi's that night and I will never forgive myself for that, I never should have said yes, I just should have argued with you like every other time and you would have come home. I am so sorry. There is not an hour that goes by that you are not in my thoughts. I love you Katie

Hi honey!! Katie you are missed so much, its been 8 months, 8 very long months. Nothing is the same, not a day goes by that i dont think about you. Kickball in the summer, the good times. I still tear up and wonder will things ever be the same, and i know they wont because you made such an impact on life. You always lived it to the fullest, and said what was on your mind and everyone loved you for your one of a kind personality. Your somebody, you always have been. Never forget that and dont ever think any different. You will be in our memories, dreams and have our love forever. Save me spot up there and I know your haven a great time like you always do, see you soon enough!

love you hunni forever and always!!!

Best wishes and prayers to you and your family and friends

It truly is an amazing thing how people can affect each other, without even knowing it. Katie and I weren't close, just knew each other in passing and yet there isn't a day that goes by that I dont recall what happened and how it's changed everything. I find it ironic that she "wanted to be somebody" I'm sure she now knows that she truly was...and continues to be, she is missed by many.

Katie, I just want you and your family to know that I have thought of you often through the years and I still do and will for along time. You were one of those little girls that a daycare lady could never forget. You were always calling my name and kept me busy through the day. Thank you for all the fun memories. remember you are someone special!

It’s surprising how often I think of you,

Turn to speak to you,

And realize you’re not right there

As I expect you to be.

I guess I hold you so close in thought

That it’s hard to understand sometimes

That you aren’t close in person.

But I wanted to let you know

I’m thinking of you

And wishing we could talk

And just be together awhile

You’re really missed!

Clapper we all miss you!

Driving down highway 3 as you spoke your thoughts
Letting me know how much you've learned and what I've taught.
You came to me when you were confused asking for advice
On everything such as family, friends, boys and life.

We called it our bonding time, just you and me.
Even if we drove in silence we both could see
No matter if a word was spoken or not
We had the best times that wouldn't be forgot.

I always told you to be yourself but you already were
I told you not to be afraid of life or to get hurt
To be nice to your family they're always going to be there
And of course life will never ever seem fair

You always kept a smile on your face
You enjoyed life, each and every day.
You let the ones you love, know you loved them
And you never forget about your old or new friends.

I will never forget the good times we shared
Having fun and showing each other we cared.
You're up in heaven and we maybe far apart
But you will never be forgotten and always be in my heart.

I Love you so much Lil' Miss Katie! & I miss your more then anything.

Katie's family...I hope your christmas went well. And you are always in my prayers. God Bless You.

Your family, your friends, everyone,

We all miss you so much.

There wasn't anyone

Who didn't love you.

We'll all miss that smile,

Your love, your touch.

We'll miss you always.

You may be gone,

But you've never left our hearts.

So never forget to smile,

And never be a stranger.

Please never leave my mind,

Don't ever part from my heart
