Happy Birthday Katie,
You are constantly in my thoughts. Young people are not supposed to leave this world before their elders. I miss you and have been thinking about you and the life you have lived in just a short period of time. You have accomplished more in those years well lived than most "older" people I know. You knew life, you embraced it, you lived it to the fullest. You had an understanding of family and friends and you cherished them all. Not many can claim achieving that understanding in their lifetime.
I watched you as you grew throughout all stages of your life. I knew you were someone special at a very early age. I saw you struggle as an infant, overcome difficulties, accept them, understand them and move forward with strength to deal with what life handed you. You made the most of it and all those experiences made you stronger and the person you became as you matured.
Know that you are missed by many. That is a legacy in and of itself. I love you Katie and I want you to know that you are missed. I also know that you are in a better place and know that you have achieved your goal of finding happiness. This is faith in its fullest aspect.
If there is a happy hour in heaven, Desiree and Aunt Betty will be there.

Aunt Donna
