Kathryn - I love you and am thankful every day that I had the chance to spend a little time with you. It has been wonderful getting to know you more and more over the past year through your website and all of the stories that everyone shares. I am so thankful for the showcase DVD and finally getting the chance to see you dance. You're so gorgeous and amazingly talented. You look so full of joy. I hope you're having an amazing time up there with your Dad. Thanks for watching over us all and for keeping that playhouse safe :)

This is a song that I heard about six hundred billion times on the radio in the week or so before November 20th. And I haven't heard it on the radio again since. It will always remind me of you. I love you Kathryn.

Untitled Hymn by Chris Rice:

Weak and wounded sinner, lost and left to die, O, raise your head, for Love is passing by.
Come to Jesus, come to Jesus, come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted, and carried far away, and precious blood has washed away the stain
...so sing to Jesus, sing to Jesus, sing to Jesus and live!

And like a newborn baby, don't be afraid to crawl, and remember when you walk, sometimes we fall
...so fall on Jesus, fall on Jesus, fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely and steep and filled with pain, so if your sky is dark and pours the rain
...then cry to Jesus, cry to Jesus, cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over, and music fills the night, and when you can't contain your joy inside
...then dance for Jesus, dance for Jesus, dance for Jesus and live!

And with your final heartbeat, kiss the world goodbye, then go in peace, and laugh on glory's side
...and fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus and live!

I never knew Kathryn, but I always heard that she was an amazing dancer from others. When getting an operation done to me 2 years ago, I had gotten one of the Kathryn's Bears donated from Steps and it means a lot to me, and even though I didn't know her, she will never be forgotten in my heart.

I did not know Kathryn but she went to the same school as my daughter did, and her mother is teaching my grandson's kindergarten class. I'm sure Kathryn must have been wonderful with such a caring mother. I feel lucky she is the first teacher to touch my grandson Jordan's life. And I know it must take courage for her to do this after the tragic loss of her own child. I can't imagine anything more precious than coming back to make a positive impact on all those little five and six year-old children.

We would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you for your prayers and support this past year.

Kathryn ~ Thank you for blessing us with a peaceful holiday season. We are constantly thinking about you. 
Lots of love, Mom, Elizabeth and Nicholas
