A really good night

Kat,

We all had such a fun time with your mom last night, It really was about the best night ever. I know that you were there too, and poking me, as always.. haha (: but I want to express my love to your mom, as she tells us how happy she is, and she's also so sad inside. I hope that she knows how much I love her and that I really do think she is one of the greatest people ever. Love you always (:

Kat,

I've been thinking about you more than usual lately. I just want you to know, how much everyone misses and loves you. I know you didn't want, or mean to go, but it was all just part of God's plan. I know that your having so much fun up there, as you did down here, I know that you are making great, new friends up there, and being a good friend, as you were down here. I love you lots, and thanks for everything you did to set an example while you could down here. I hope your having a great time. Love you!

My Dearest Angel,
I have been thinking about you lots lately. About what you're doing up there. How you've been. I'll put it real simple, Critter, if that's what you want. I miss you, A lot. We could go deeper than that and say I miss your smile, and your laugh, and your hugs, but really when you add all that together I just miss you. All of you. Every part of you. You see, sweet girl, maybe it was part of God's plan. You leaving. And maybe the rest of us stuck down here are supposed to... grown, I guess, and learn from it. Can I tell you how hard that is. Especially without you. I mean, you're the one person we all want to turn and talk and you would have an open shoulder, but you're the one person we can't. It's straight down hard, Kat, no matter how much you comfort us, you can't come back. But, it has gotten somewhat easier. I don't cry as much as I did the first few weeks you were gone. It still hurts, and it always will. But we have to learn to live without you.
And it is truly nice to know you're up there watching over everyone of us. I know that you were taken back home so soon because God couldn't miss you for more than 16 years. Since you're so amazing it was so hard for Him to have you gone, so he had to take you back sooner then we think He should've. He needed you up there, Katie, more than you were needed down here. Of course it's always the amazing, sweet, beautiful ones that go first.
Know I miss you, and love you so much. And when I close my eyes I feel you near me, thank you for that. Sending big hugs your way, sweet Katelyn.
Xoxo

A Special Friend

Kat was the first, true person to actually welcome me into Young Womens. She would always be good example, show me around, where to meet every wednesday, be a special friend, and always was a warm, welcoming, very special friend. I couldn't imagine life without her. With her there, she made everything fun, uplifting, not boring, and full of laughter. I always will remember her, and the special memories that were shared with me from her. So if you would like to post a memory of her, that would be great. Here is one of my memories with her, so we were at mutual, at Sister Earls house, watching Madagascar 2, So Kat came and sat down with me, she brought her blaket too :) So anyways, she came down and sat with me, and we had this thing where if I saw her, and if she saw me, we would poke eachother, so she poked me, I poked her, we stopped the poking for a while, until it was about the end of the movie, and I started poking her. She poked me, until it started into a poking war. She even made me spill the popcorn! lol, and that's what good/special friends are for. I love that girl, and am misssing her a lot. So feel free to share to memories if you can. Thanks. Love you Kat! ((HUGS))

Our Angel, Katelyn

There's not really a way to describe Katelyn. She was so many amazing things it's impossible to name them all. She was caring and loving and she always had a smile on her face. She made each day she was down here worth something. She helped others. When you were scared she made you feel safe. When you felt alone she reminded you she would always love you and would be there for you. When you were sad she would cheer you up.
She was truly our angel on earth.
And we miss her lots. And love her. And it's super hard without her but I know she's watching over each one of us up in Heaven. And she's lovin' us and missin' us right back. :-)

A comforting poem

You can shed tears that she is gone, Or you can smile because she has lived.
you can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her, Or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomarrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomarrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone, Or you can cherish her memory and let it, live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be emply and turn your back, or you can do what she'd want:
Smile, open your eyes, and love and go on.

Do it for the one you love most

There was a girl I knew. She changed my life. She showed me that there was more to life than just living it. And that it's more important to love than to live.
Her name was Kat.
Kat passed away a year and two months ago on March 6,2009 after accidentally being shot in the face with a pistol.
She was amazing. Her death shocked everyone. Why would God take someone the world loved so dearly? And why take her so shorty after she arrived with us?
It almost felt like God had made a mistake. That Kat wasn't supposed to be there at that moment, that it should've been someone else.
I'm sure Kat never gave up. I'm sure she wanted to stay down here. I'm sure she didn't want to see her family and friends in pain because of her death. But I also think she was ecstatic to go to a better place where she could be with her family and watch over them from a different perspective. And I know she was crying tears of joy when God picked her up in His arms and welcomed her home.
Kat always told me whenever I felt like giving up to keep going and to do it for the one I love the most. That's why everyone who knew Kat is going on living without her. We're doing it for the one we love most. We're doing it for Kat.

Katelyn

A little over a year ago, my friend Katelyn Mikolasy also know as "Kat" by her friends, passed away.

She was a friend to many, full of life, and she was the kind of person who didn't judge or think bad of anyone, no matter who they were. Kat was the kind of person who would make you feel protected when you were scared, make you happy and smile if you were sad, and even if you didn't have any friends, she would always be there for you.

Katelyn is missed by many, but we all know that she is watching over every one of us.

Love you and Miss you Kat.
