I have many memories of this precious young lady. My favorite is, when I called her up to the platform to sing Humpty Dumpy and Jesus with me. She would get out of her seat there by Mama Liz and Papaw Dave and smile all the way to the microphone. We’d sing the song and wow she was great and always after the song I would bend down beside her as we did the tag together, “He will make your life brand new and He’ll put you back together again”, and then we would always hug each other. Loved it.
Katilyn young angel, u can now rest in paradise. For the family, my prayers r that u find peace in knowing that she’s in gods hands. Amen
Brent & Marilyn, Kaitlyn was such a special soul! She touched so many lives, in her short time, here – always bringing joy & laughter! She will be sorely missed, but she is in God’s hands, and we are promised to be reunited, one day with our family, in Heaven, where all our tears will be wiped away. I love you, all, so much! Hugs to you, all! Prayers, as well!!

Kaitlyn was the best cook i’ve ever met. I still remember the first day she came to my elementary school. She looked so pretty on the first day of school and everyday after that. But my favorite memory would have to be Halloween. She dressed up like a baker. We were getting ready for the costume parade and she said “Emma watch this” and she threw the flour up in the air and got it on both of us. We laughed and laughed and laughed. I was also there when she chipped her tooth on the first day of school. It’s been very tough with out Kaitlyn here. I miss her so much. I know she’s in a much better place. – Emma
