"With Gods Grace He Gives Me Strength.."
The butterfly symbolizes resurrection and eternal life, it emerges from its cocoon representing the resurrection of Christ from the tomb! Just as the butterfly comes forth with a new body, those who trust in Christ come forth with new life. The butterfly also represents flight, freedom, and creativeness! Angels are the butterflies here on Earth! My sweet beautiful Katelyn is my butterfly; laughing, running, flying, and carefree! Heaven is a sweeter place now that she is there!
Katelyn Will Forever Be Loved, Deeply Missed, & Always Remembered!!
"When someone you love becomes a memory
That memory becomes a treasure!!"
This poem was written by a dear friend, Richard, shortly after Katelyn went to Heaven. We were lucky to have had him in our life and to be able to call him a friend! Richard--THANK-YOU!!
Katelyn
Trapped in a body out of control.
Muscles and organs won't do what they're told.
Don't be fooled for a moment that I'm not in here somewhere.
Do what I don't like and you will be under my stare!
I have likes and dislikes just like you, don't you see.
Do something funny and I'll laugh with great glee.
I control my world with a smile, a frown,
and the wrinkle of my nose.
What truly lies in my heart only my mommy knows.
My time with you is short, I must answer my call.
From up in Heaven I will keep watch on you all.
Katelyn was just 8 1/2-yrs old when she went to live with her Lord in Heaven on October 10, 2007. She was one of those precious few creations that God took that little bit of extra time with, which is perhaps why we could only borrow her for a short while before she was called back to Heaven. She will definitely be an Angel with an attitude! All who knew Katelyn loved her and all who loved her will miss her dearly!
The glow in my heart shall never dim,
So long as your memory lives within!
The moment I knew that you had died
My heart split in two
One side filled with memories
The other died with you
I often lay awake at night
When the world is fast asleep
And take a walk down memory lane
With tears upon my cheek
Remembering you is easy
I do it every day
But missing you is a heartahce
That never goes away
I hold you tightly within my heart
And there you will remain
Life has gone on with out you
But it will never be the same!
Missing You!!
A Daily Nightmare
I woke up this morning and you were not there.
I can't kiss your cheek or brush your hair.
The days of joy are over, the pain and sorrow start.
Because when you went to Heaven, you also took my heart.
I have to live my nightmare, each morning when I wake.
I have to feel the pain, with every breath I take.
With gut wrench sorrow and mind numbing pain.
I daily live this nightmare, over and over again.
Katelyn I love you more and more with each passing day! You are forever in my heart, thoughts, and prayers! I constantly dream of the day we are reunited! Bear hugs and Angel kisses are sent to you just from me! I LOVE YOU!
