Your updates to Katelyn's site never cease to amaze me. Ange updated...lol...we have been so busy of late that it has been hard finding time to do anything. Jacob's 1 year anniversary of his passing to Heaven is coming upon us all too quickly and makes things equally as hard to keep on top of things. Take care...our thoughts are with you.

It's so heartwarming to know that you've been able to turn some very sad jobs into the positive by doing good in Katelyn's name.

I thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful site... jeffrey ott/ www.caringbridge.org/wv/stephanieott <slojsw@aol.com> pineville, wv usa - Sunday, February 5, 2006 11:18 AM CST hi Deb and Brian Great picture of Makyla, I can hardly wait to show her! Today we spent the day celebrating Makyla's birthday and it is so hard not having Katelyn there to celebrate with us. It is especially hard because we had planned on doing so much with the kids together and it just makes us miss THE BOO that much more! We did alot of reminiscing about Katelyn and I'm sure all the people on 7C are so happy that you shared all your wonderful stories with us. It was also nice to hear you sing your version of the COMMERCIALS again.....I'm sure everyone in Toronto misses your singing! I never realized how secluded Debbie and Brian were from the real world. They had flushed the toilet in Katelyn's hospital room and it would not stop flushing......Well, what is so funny about that, do you ask? Well they laughed so hard about this toilet they even had to video tape it??? That is the Saturday nights they spent together as a family. I don't know if this is normal for people that have kids in the hospital but they sounded like they were having a really good time! It just proves how the three of them could turn anything into a celebration. Love Bonnie bonnie <craft_freak101@hotmail.com> cottam, ont Canada - Saturday, February 4, 2006 9:14 PM CST Hi Deb, I just realized how long it has been since I've signed your guestbook!

Im just popping in to say hello! I always enjoy visiting your cb site! It amazes me that Angel Katelyn had to endure 103 transfusions! Logan has had 5 and I thought that was enough! I say this because I really need to get out there and donate blood! I have done so in the past but to be honest, I havent done it in quite awhile! Remembering that your baby endured 103 transfusions has really given me the motivation to set aside the time next week to go and donate blood! Thank you! :) Hugs and Best wishes always! :) April & LOGAN <Aprilmolle@tampabay.rr.com> Port Richey, FL USA - Saturday, February 4, 2006 5:37 PM CST It is great to have friends! Especially with your little Boo, Puffy-face Angel Katelyn helping! I sure wish we knew of her! What a Joy in such a little while that you have had her. But if it wasn't for her, you would never of known many of us who care. Or for that fact- did you ever in your life realize that you could go though all you have gone though? An amazing caring lady you are Debbie! Hey, since you haven't found Brian's wedding present---could it be just HIM????? Hugs and oodles of prayers! Love Mary, Mike Slade and the kids <mar-e@rogers.com> Guelph, Ontario, Canada - Saturday, February 4, 2006 2:14 PM CST Deb,thanks for the comments i'm glad we met and became friends too. it's weird how you can be so close to someone so far away. i hope you are feeling better. and yes our girls are the most beautiful girls in the world!:) take care and we'll chat soon. Luv ya, Robyn:) mom to Nicole and Angel PJ www.caringbridge.org/visit/nicole RW Petawawa, Ontario (Canada), - Saturday, February 4, 2006 5:40 AM CST I hope the anniversary of your father's death brought back some happy memories as well as the painful ones. One day last year, about four years after my father's death, I was in the grocery store and I spotted a man a few aisles over who could have been my father's twin. As I stood in line, I kept glancing at him, and the feeling I had was just one of overwhelming affection. I don't know how to describe it, but it was just such a nice feeling, if that doesn't seem too strange, to know that the difficult circumstances of my father's death had washed away and just left this affection behind. It still makes me smile when I remember it. Linda <gcpiazza@aol.com> Irving, TX - Friday, February 3, 2006 9:55 PM CST Hi Deb, Just letting you know I was here. Funny, you probably think I'm nuts but I come here for comfort. I pop on Katelyn's webpage and the music starts playing and I take my time just going over the pictures and memories I have of time spent together and somehow it brings peace to my heart. Oh...to get that kiss in person...but you're amazing talent and pure heartfelt love that you give so freely and chose to share on this page never fails to comfort. Thank you for allowing me the privilage to be part of it all. I love you all immensely and I actually ache knowing that no matter how much I offer my support it can't help you feel less pain for your Angels. I'm sure your Dad and Katleyn will let you know that they are there to lift you when you need it. Give each other a big hug and kiss for me! xooxxo Muriel <mur28@hotmail.com> - Friday, February 3, 2006 4:45 PM CST Hi Deb Wanted to say hi. Hope all is well.

I am so greatful for having my father still here, especially with all he has been going through lately (thanks Deb for MSNing with me that night). I just got home and phoned a friend who had called to see how my dad was... when I was done rambling on about this past week I asked how her week had been... then she said... "not too well, my Dad died this morning". As I cannot find the words that I wish to say to you... so did I draw a blank at what to say to my friend. Such a loss! A dear, kind-hearted person! Deb, my heart aches for you and wishes you comfort. Karen McPherson <idociam@hotmail.com> Bowmanville, - Sunday, January 29, 2006 9:18 PM CST Thinking of Deb & Brian today.

Aren't our kids amazing... When Jason's grandpa died from cancer we both felt like we needed to go over to see him. We showed up and then he took a turn for the worst while we were there. Great Grandma Jo was holding Collin in her arms when he died. We stayed while we waited for them to pick him up seeing as he was sent home for his last days. Great Grandma Jo went into the kitchen and held Collin so tight while they took Great Grandpa out. It is amazing what comfort these sweet little kids bring even if they can't say a word. I love you!

She is an absolutely precious little girl. Her smile reminds me so much of my daughter's smile. I suspect Kately and Katherine, my daughter, are angel buddies. They both earned their wings at about the same age and both seem to have such strong spirits based on what I saw and read on the site. Please know you are in my prayers. Thank you for sharing Katelyn's story.

Now on to the real note! Did I tell you how much I love Katelyn's quilt! :D You did a beautiful job and her photos are so cute! I love the early baby ones! It is so awesome to see a timeline for the lovely little girl's earthly life. So sweet. Sending you love!

Katelyn's site looks beautiful. I love the pictures on the guestbook...how did you do that? The picture on the left makes me want to kiss those cheeks! She is absolutely irresistable! Thanks for caring, my new friend. You have an incredibly generous heart. It's easy to see why Katelyn had so much to smile about. Hugs, Michelle PROUD wife of Dave Michelle Meyer <meyer1986@charter.net> Walla Walla, WA US - Wednesday, January 25, 2006 2:16 AM CST Hi Deb! Just checking in on you! Sending positive thoughts and good wishes to you particularly during this challenging time ahead. http://www2.caringbridge.org/canada/shaunam/ Karen, Graham, Shauna & Jenna McLean Watford, Ont Canada - Tuesday, January 24, 2006 9:01 PM CST I was thinking about dad today... I was thinking that dad had that rare sense of humor that he passed on to Debbie, this was passed onto my nephew Doug and then to my son Rick. This special trait makes them all very caring people with a sense of humor that outside people put them on the borderline of strange (Brian, you know the look we give them!) It is no wonder that Katelyn is so special......she had all of these family traits rolled into one little person. Katelyn had dad’s sense of humor, no matter how bad life got at times there was always something to find funny about the situation. Katelyn had a little bit of Debbie in her and could get people’s attention by doing the strangest things and insure that they had a smile on their face and that nobody forgot about them. Katelyn had a little Doug in her and she could dance and move those legs and hips and shake her bootie. (The family knows the dance) Katelyn had a little bit of Ricky in her and was never afraid to laugh out loud no matter how off beat the joke was. It is no wonder that little Katelyn could touch so many people....she had all of the best family traits (Ok, there is only a few good ones to speak of) all rolled into one little body. Debbie and I were watching the videos one night and Katelyn was laughing, dancing, making funny faces (just like dad) and laughing out loud, what a special little girl We miss all these good qualities so much........There will never be anybody else like Katelyn. Love Aunt Bonnie bonnie <craft_freak101@hotmail.com> cottam, ont Canada - Tuesday, January 24, 2006 8:33 PM CST I came to your website throught another...Just wanted to say your Precious Katelyn is so beautiful...Said a prayer as I passed through...

Hope I didn't put any pressure on you to sign. haha Love Bonnie bonnie <craft_freak101@hotmail.com> cottam, ont Canada - Tuesday, January 24, 2006 7:31 PM CST Deb, Katelyn is so cute, I cannot imagine what you all have been through and to have watched your child endure, so many people tell us how strong we are, but they do not realize we draw strength from our children, Katelyn sounded like such a fighter and a blessing to all who knew her, I'm glad you signed our guestbook and we continue to keep your family in our prayers. Paula Paula www.caringbridge.org/ia/kyle <getwellkyle@yahoo.com> - Tuesday, January 24, 2006 9:28 AM CST I hope that you can find some peace along with the grief as the anniversary of your father's death approaches.

Can I hire you ;) I really do love it. You do such a great job with it. These last few weeks since xmas have been extreamly hard on me with Jacobs angel day approaching I seem to be getting deeper and deeper into my little cocoon. Wish it was easier, but Im sure you understand how it is. I havent been on the computer much at all, and am behind over 1000 emails, ugh headache thinking about it all. My support chat group has been busy, and also so many new angels in the SMA community, each is like losing another child of your own. Damn SMA. Anyway all that to tell you I read your journal history b/c Im behind again :( I totally know how you feel about no one signing the guestbook. Its like that on Jacobs site too. But I understand with Jacobs I havent been updating like I used to. And I have to appoligize for not being here for you and Brian much lately. Sorry about that. Im awaiting the answer on a house we put an offer on in Belleville. Keeping my fingers crossed this is the second offer we put in on it. THey have till 8 tonight. Man this should have been an email eh! LOL Sorry, Thinking of you all and again, I love love love what you have done with Katelyns website.

You are a very special lady!! I love the quilt you made - it's beautiful - but then how can it be anything but beautiful when you receive your inspiration from an angel. I bet Katelyn is very proud of her Mom and Dad and makes sure all the other angels know it.

The weg page is always changing and I love checking in to see what is different,plus your update of course. That was really nice what you wrote about dad.He was a special person,and I also was lucky to have him for a dad. Wouldn't people get a kick out of all our stories we have to tell.I'm laughing just writing this LOL Have a good day sis. Luv Conn I'm saying a prayer that all the CB families have a wonderful & healthy week Connie <connie.beacom@sympatico.ca> Leamington, ont - Monday, January 23, 2006 8:15 AM CST Mornin' all! Well guys...good news! I attended my workshop on Saturday and as thought, Karen did discuss your photos with the group. Good news>>> she too, feels it was divine energy in your home and senses more an angel versus a spirit. Wow...what a kid you have! Sending angels to give you signs now! It was explained that, when we ask the spirits of our loved ones to help us (for instance) they can't do it because they don't possess divine energy so they appeal to the angels to do the actual work. In my estimation...your faith in Katelyn is so strong that those miracles you've always prayed for are now showing themselves physically in your world. How special is that! There's your warm fuzzy for the day. Have a good one. all our love, Kelly and Kirkie xoxoxo Kelly Kilbride <kilbridek@yahoo.com> Georgetown, On Canada - Monday, January 23, 2006 8:07 AM CST Hi Deb, Hoping that you are having a great weekend.

Sometimes it because I just don't know what to write, or if i do write will it come across the way I meant it. Now I will sign everyone I come across. Thanks for opening my eyes.

I'm sorry for your loss, and pray God will continue to ease your pain. Most of the time I don't sign guestbooks. I just don't know what to say. I do know God is in control, and He will respond. Dudley Destin <ddestin@bellsouth.net> Cantonment, FL USA - Thursday, January 19, 2006 7:54 PM CST never ceasing in prayer for you and your family Lauren <mlaurenp@hotmail.com> Arlington, TX USA - Thursday, January 19, 2006 5:03 PM CST Yes, I know what you mean about the guestbook and I admit it, I am GUILTY! I check on Katelyn's page at least 3 or 4 times a week, but I only usually sign once a week! I asked myself the same questions that you are. . . just who IS checking up on us! Then, I added Alex's map onto his page and he had EIGHTY-ONE people put their pin on it! I am sure that there are more than that who check on him, but WOW that was amazing to see. You could post a map on your page too! I want to tell you that the angels on Katelyn's page are beautiful, they made me go "awwwwww." Of course, not nearly as beautiful as angel Katelyn! :) MaryBeth www.caringbridge.com/vt/alex marybeth <marybethlefevre@aol.com> Williamstown, VT - Thursday, January 19, 2006 4:43 PM CST Hi Deb and Brian, I am hoping you are both keeping well.

She reminds me of my little girl (who thankfully is now 8)! You are a strong mother and I agree, nothing means more than a note to say that someone is thinking of your and praying that your pain will ease, as we all know, it will never end. Please visit and pray for my friend from High School, Britt at /sc/britt. I will try to stop by more often as I now have this site! Keep talking to those of us that are listening, we will be here when you need to talk! Miki <brat77rh@yahoo.com> Rock Hill, SC USA - Thursday, January 19, 2006 4:36 PM CST Just came across your page.

Sending lots of love and hugs to you and hoping things are good!

But I can understand why they don't also. People in my family or close friends have told me they just don't know what to say. Knowing so many are reading I guess is intimidating to some readers. Anyway, I hope all is well with you. I love coming to your page to see what is new and creative...it is always a surprise. Best wishes on your new projects.

It was really sweet and we are very appreciative! You are such a caring person and I am so happy that we ran across eachothers caringbridge pages! :) I am so sorry that I havent been by in awhile! My son and I just got back from Colorado! My family is there! We havent been there in 5 years so it was time to go! :) I can relate to everything you wrote in your last journal entry!

I also know exactly what you mean when you talk about how we pour our hearts out in our journal entries! Dont worry! :) I always leave a message when I stop by! :) I hope that 2006 will bring many blessings to you and your family!

Shelby just loved the angels on your site and keeps getting me to visit just to see them. She says they are angels like all of her friends in Heaven. Pretty insightful for such a little girl. It amazes me at how quickly these little heroes have to grow up in such a short time (not to mention the parents). You are so right when it comes to guest book entries. For me, it is a record of our journey and I don't want to forget one moment in time or all the people who stood along side us supporting us. Your beautiful angel is in Heaven so proud to call you mom as you continue to share your life with us. We are all blessed to have such a special angel watching over Shelby as she continues battling this nasty disease. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and always close to our hearts. Keep the faith, stay strong and God bless. Remember, "If you believe, all things are possible." Love Shelby and family www.caringbridge.org/visit/shelbygagne Rebecca Gagne <rgagne@baminternet.com> St. Thomas, Ontario Canada - Wednesday, January 18, 2006 7:05 AM CST What a lot of work and love you've poured into Katelyn's website. Linda Irving, TX - Tuesday, January 17, 2006 10:39 PM CST Hi Deb, Love the page. Love the guestbook. Keeping you, Brian and, Angel Katelyn in our prayers always. HUGS, Lisa and Kari Kari's Page <Lisa@iamtheshoe.com> Langley AFB, VA - Tuesday, January 17, 2006 10:25 PM CST Brenda What a beautiful story you put on the guestbook (needed a few tissues for that one). That was our Katelyn,Brave Little Soul is exactly what she is. Katelyn changed so many lives and no matter what life brought us, she always made us see things in a different way. I can't even imagine how we got through life before her. Our way of thinking almost seems ridiculous before she came into our life. The crazy things we use to worry about, how selfish we were, our priorities,just our way of thinking doesn't even make sense to us any more. Katelyn brought us so much joy but she leaves behind her a legacy because she has changed so many peoples lives in such a short time. Thanks for reminding us what a BRAVE LITTLE SOUL, she really is Katelyns Aunt Bonnie bonnie <craft_freak101@hotmail.com> cottam, ont Canada - Tuesday, January 17, 2006 10:01 PM CST Hi Deb, Glad to see people are actually letting you know they stop by to see your beautiful little Boo.

Muriel <mur28@hotmail.com> - Tuesday, January 17, 2006 9:49 PM CST Oh Boy, I haven't said HI in awhile, but I wasn't a hypocrite, cause I haven't signed, but I also haven't checked in either! lol And you know that is rare for me! Know that I love you guys! And I'm always thinking of you! Christine Christine Walton <crsrwalton@ciaccess.com> Merlin, - Tuesday, January 17, 2006 9:27 PM CST This is the first time signing in. I just wanted to say hello and that I pray for you to find peace and comfort with the loss of Katlyn. She is so pretty. I love your page. I lost my son on October 5, 2005. It has been three months without my baby. I hope this gets easier. He had two transplants and his lungs failed. Stay strong.

I am so glad to hear the news about Alison. I tried to sign your guestbook the other day but the computer I was on was too old so it never loaded. I think it would have taken 15 mins. I have not had a chance to respond to your email yet about your issue but will get back to you soon. Take care and I will chat with you soon hopefully. Wasen't Shelley so pretty on her wedding day. They got some great pictures.

Ok, I admit - I am a very guilty party here. I will come right out and say it, "I have displayed blatant disregard as I walked right in and didn't take my shoes off..." (Any rats in here, Deb??) "I promise to be more diligent and I will leave something here every time I visit...." (Deb's probably gonna kick me out now!!) :-) Jody P. <jpoljanski@sympatico.ca> Campbellville, Ontario Canada - Tuesday, January 17, 2006 9:06 AM CST Good morning Debbie & Brian thank you for taking mom out for supper on her & dad's would have been 52nd Anniversary.You both are so caring I'm glad you are my family.

Tami <daventami@cableone.net> AZ - Tuesday, January 17, 2006 7:30 AM CST Good morning from Brampton! I've been wandering around the computer checking on things and people and thought I'd say "hi". What a marvelous page you've done for Katelyn, wow! Can't remember if I told you that come April I can get back to blood donating, something I used to do regularly until I started on meds. Well, it turns out that I can still give, just as soon as the year is up from my last earring! Can't wait, and I'll be sure to do it in honour of your angel. I trust you are both keeping well. Take good care! Maire & Kasey Maire Ketola <maire.ketola@sympatico.ca> Brampton, ON Canada - Tuesday, January 17, 2006 6:57 AM CST Hey down there! The page is looking great as usual. How can the rest of us ever keep up?! Sorry I didn't reply to you recent email re: bracelets. You haven't lost your mind and yes I requested 4 and told you I was sending the cash and then got wrapped up in the flu bug and neglected to do so. What a scatterbrain I am recently! Anywho...I hope you still have those extras and how much do I owe again? LOL And just think...you think you're bad! Kirk's been fine (touch wood). Seizures are up but we're managing. Imagine my surprise today when I received his latest metabolics clinic report and they wrote that his test for CDG came back negative!!! I know they're constantly testing him further because his mito dx is only 'probable' but I don't recall them mentioning that. I'm sure they did but I was probably brain dead at the time. LOL By the way everyone...I should let you know that the money raised from Kirkland's Mito March went to the Metabolism Research team at Sick Kids. This team is also responsible for researching Katelyn's disease, CDG too. Prior to Christmas, the head of research, Dr. Robinson, called me to let me know that they spent $27 000.00 plus tax on a piece of lab equipment called a Real Time PCR machine. It's basically a very fancy DNA analyser which will help all Metabolic diseases not just Kirkland's. Today, when I called him, and asked Dr. Robinson what they did at Sick Kids before they had their own PCR machine, (e.g. did they send the samples off to another hospital?), he said they didn't run these types of tests...We've created a whole new initiative for their Research team that they'd never had the capability of conducting prior to our fundraising efforts. So many of you participated through our "Katelyn-Kirkland connection". Thank you soooo much. I just wanted you to be aware that all of our efforts, are paying off. CDG and Mito kids alike, along with many other metabolic diseases are benefitting from Katelyn and Kirkland's romance LOL. Aunt CoCo, I cried when I received your letter the other day. I will of course be contacting your friend, Mike to thank him for his unselfish donation to help our kids. Please let him know that it will definitely provide our wonderful researchers with the means to keep working towards a cure or treatment for our little ones if that's where he'd like it directed. Isn't it just incredible...the legacy our babies have, and will leave behind?! Sh%$#t! I've gone and done it again...you're explaining how much it means to have visitors sign the guestbook... and here I go, writing whole journal messages in your guestbook instead of on Kirk's page LOL. Oh well, I'll just refer them over here! Take care everyone! Great news Alison! Fight! Brandon, Fight! We're all with you. Hugs and kisses, Kelly and Kirkie xoxoxo Kelly Kilbride <kilbridek@yahoo.com> Georgetown, On Canada - Monday, January 16, 2006 11:01 PM CST hey, I am visitor # 58,400!!! Deb - Monday, January 16, 2006 9:32 PM CST Hi Deb, Just checking in...can't do it from work anymore:( I know you were on line with B-Man earlier....sorry to tell you that they admitted him today at Sick Kids again. Actually he's not too bad, but brewing something and considering how ill he got before Xmas they are being extra cautious, better safe that sorry. Thanks for always being his rock to lean on!!! Between you and Katelyn...boy is he looked after! Luv you hun. Muriel <mur28@hotmail.com> - Monday, January 16, 2006 9:23 PM CST Love the new background. Just thinking of you, and checking in to see if anything was new. Today was my daughter's 10th birthday. We celebrated, and appreciated every moment with her. First birthday without Daddy, for our BabyCakes, who was very much a Daddy's girl. Many hugs to you, Deb, Love, Michelle PROUD wife of Dave Michelle Meyer <meyer1986@charter.net> Walla Walla, WA US - Monday, January 16, 2006 7:17 PM CST The Brave Little Soul By: John Alessi Not too long ago in Heaven there was a little soul who took wonder in observing the world. He especially enjoyed the love he saw there and often expressed this joy with God. One day however, the little soul was sad, for on this day he saw suffering in the world. He approached God and sadly asked, "Why do bad things happen, why is there suffering in the world?". God paused for a moment and replied, "Little soul, do not be sad, for the suffering you see, unlocks the love in peoples hearts". The little soul was confused. "What do you mean", he asked. God replied, "Have you not noticed the goodness and love that is the offspring of that suffering? Look at how people come together, drop their differences, and show their love and compassion for those who suffer. All their other motivations disappear and they become motivated by love alone. The little soul began to understand and listened attentively as God continued, "The suffering soul unlocks the love in people's hearts much like the sun and rain unlock the flower within the seed. I created everyone with endless love in their heart, but unfortunately most people keep it locked up and hardly share it with anyone. They are afraid to let their love shine freely, because they are afraid of being hurt. But a suffering soul unlocks that love. I tell you this-it is the greatest miracle of all. Many souls have bravely chosen to go into the world and suffer-to unlock this love-to create this miracle-for the good of all humanity. Just then the little soul got a wonderful idea and could hardly contain himself. With his wings fluttering, bouncing up and down, the little soul excitedly replied, "I am brave; let me go! I would like to go into this world and suffer so that I can unlock the goodness and love in people's hearts! I want to create that miracle! God smiled and said, "You are a brave soul I know, and thus I will grant your request. But even though you are very brave you will not be able to do this alone. I have known since the beginning of time that you would ask for this and so I have carefully selected many souls to care for you on your journey. Those souls will help you create your miracle; however they will also share in your suffering. Two of these souls are most special and will care for you, help you and suffer along with you, far beyond the others. They have already chosen a name for you. God and the brave little soul shared a smile, and then embraced. In parting, God said, "Do not forget little soul that I will be with you always. Although you have agreed to bear the pain, you will do so through my strength. And if the time should come when you feel that you have suffered enough, just say the word, think the thought, and you will be healed. Thus at that moment the brave little soul was born into the world, and through his suffering and God's strength he unlocked the goodness and love in people's hearts. For so many people dropped their differences and came together to show their love. Priorities became properly aligned. People gave from their hearts. Those that were always too busy found time. Many began new spiritual journeys-some regained lost faith-many came back to God. Parents hugged their children tighter. Friends and family grew closer. Old friends got together and new friendships were made. Distant family reunited, and every family spent more time together. Everyone prayed. Peace and love reigned. Lives were changed forever. It was good. The world was a better place. The miracle had happened. God was pleased." I love the page.

I know exactly how you feel about these caring bridge pages. Please know that I think of you often. Take care www.caringbridge.org/fl/joseph Elizabeth <michael_shipley@bellsouth.net> - Sunday, January 15, 2006 11:32 PM CST Deb & Brian.....sorry for not signing the guest book every time I visit. I think about you guys every day but don't always know what to say. I wish my life was not so busy so that I could stop by for a visit...life is just to short & I know I have to start taking some time out for friends & family. Maybe that should be my new year's resolution....and good for you that you have kicked the habit. Take care & I truely hopt to see you soon. Love Michele Michele Wuerch <wuerch@gosfieldtel.com> Essex, - Sunday, January 15, 2006 7:23 PM CST Hi Deb! Just wanted to let you know I was here, and that I do care! Thank-you for always being there for us!!! Thinking of you and angel Katelyn. ((((hugs)))) Love, Mary and Caitlin www.caringbridge.org/fl/caitlin Mary Templeton <mary.templeton@gmail.com> citrus springs, FL - Sunday, January 15, 2006 7:11 PM CST Hi Just dropping by to say I'm thinking about you,hope everything is well with baby Ema. Take care, Winnie Winnie Fairservice {grandmother to angel Caillin} <jfairs0527@rogers.com> Oshawa, on - Sunday, January 15, 2006 5:09 PM CST Deb, thank you for your kind words in Meghan's guestbook. I too am glad we met unfortunately due to awful circumstances. No one can ever imagine how bad losing a child is unless they have been inducted into this horrible horrible community. When people say "they don't know what to say", I simply tell them to tell me something they remember about Meghan, or tell me how she changed their outlook on life even if they had never met her. Hearing our child's name is the most important thing to us and honoring their short time on earth will be something as parents each of us will continue to do. It is a lonely, lonely journey and one which never gets easier. I will continue to visit Katelyn's site in honor of her short little life, and to be here for you in support of your grief, shock sadness and anger. Please know there are moms out here who are here for you and have been where you are in your journey. Sending you my thoughts and prayers. PS: Meghan is "the chubb" in the Angel wings on her front page. You made me smile calling her "chubb", because that she was :o) Not sure what you wanted to quote from my entry, but please feel free :o) PSS: I LOVE "Princess Puffy Cheeks"!

I sort of felt that by just dropping by that was some form of support, although I now understand that it is not and how it must be sheer frustration seeing the counter go up and no messages. Sorry! Thank you for your update and for making me truly understand how important all visitors to CB sites are..Your message made me feel like I was welcome to visit as long as I pop in to say hi. Love & HOpe Peita Sydney, NSW Australia - Sunday, January 15, 2006 3:28 AM CST Just stopping by and wanted to offer hugs..I will be praying that all is okay with the baby.And a BIG thank you for keeping up on the updates. Lots of hugs coming your way from AZ Tami <daventami@cableone.net> AZ - Saturday, January 14, 2006 11:36 PM CST Leave it to my sister to get her point across.... I better not leave without signing the guestbook, I am so proud of the way Debbie keeps up this website after her and Brian have lost thier precious daughter, it is not always easy to come up with new entries but she always amazes us with her love and devotion towards Katelyn. The amount of work that goes into these pages would surprise anybody that takes the time to read and I can see why caringbridge families get so frustrated. It is such a great joy to see so many people all over the world being touched by Katelyn's story.....these entries help more than you realize. Thank-you to all the people that take the time to sign in... It really does make a HUGE difference.

Connie(WI Angels/FOA) <conniecalvo@earthlink.net> San Antonio, TX - Saturday, January 14, 2006 10:28 PM CST Hello! I linked and linked and linked and ended up at your daughter's beautiful site. I was smitten with her beauty and her name. Our oldest daughter, who passed away nine years ago from a brain tumor, was named Caitlin. CaringBridge wasn't a keep-people-updated tool back then. It is such a fabulous system, except, as you mentioned, not everyone signs in to the guestbook. So, from a mom in Minnesota, thank you for still writing. Your words help others more than you may ever know. Bridget Peller <peller6@mchsi.com> Hutchinson, MN USA - Saturday, January 14, 2006 9:55 PM CST Hugs and oodles of prayers to you all!

Your Angel is so beautiful and I know how much she is missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I will continue to come back (and sign in), as I completely understand what you're talking about and the frustration of people not dropping a note just to say "we're thinking about your girls". Anyway, it is a pleasure to meet your sweet baby.

Just came to see how the visitor numbers are going. I accidently went back to the main page instead of entering this quick note and by doing that I bumped the counter up one more! Oops. Now if I go back there again before heading over to Tayler's page I wonder if that will increase it again... we will have to see. That means this visit will look like three hits! Oops! Hope you have a great weekend. Did you know that spring in on the way? Well in a few more months. It is hard to believe that the days are getting longer!

Such a strange thing....the "lurking" situation. We have experienced it, as every other CB family has too. It is hard to see the number of hits go up, the reassuring words in the guestbook (or even a name) not always following. I hope your honesty inspires people to change and write !!! Thinking of you- Alison Mom to Angel Alexandria www.caringbridge.org/page/alexandriasangels alison <alisonhaddock@charter.net> O Fallon/ Saint Louis, MO - Friday, January 13, 2006 4:39 PM CST Hi you don't know me but I came across your daughters website one day. She was a beutiful baby girl. I lost my daughter to cancer on May 6,2005 and as I read your website today I know exactly how you feel. My daughter was 16 and lost her battle after fighting for 41/2 years. Please feel free to check her website her name is Cassie now the website is www.caringbridge.org/canada/lorina I screwed up when doing it that is why it is under my name. Take care Lorina Lorina Boucher <lorina_boucher_@msn.com> Owen Sound, Ontario Canada - Friday, January 13, 2006 4:29 PM CST Hi Debbie, Like you, I can't wait to get started again on my girl's memorial garden. Fortunately here, the weather allows me to do quite a bit during the winter, but when spring comes, I hope to have it back as beautiful as it was last year. When I am out there working in Cheyenne's garden, I can actually feel her presence with me. So, of course, I spend a lot of time there. Be sure and send or post some photos of the waterfall when it is done. I am still in the planning stage as I haven't completely chosen a design yet. Thinking of you and your sweet Katelyn. God Bless. Roy Cheyenne's Proud Daddy, Forever www.caringbridge.org/tx/cheyenne5 Roy Fiveash <rfiveash@wcc.net> San Angelo, tx - Friday, January 13, 2006 3:49 PM CST Hi We don't know each other-I came across the website through another caringbridge website. I wanted you to know I read everything on your site, and looked at the beautiful pictures of your daughter.A beautiful site, I am very touched. I am so sorry for your loss. Your Angel will protect you and guide you through this most difficult time. My heart goes out to you and your family. Cindy - Friday, January 13, 2006 1:37 PM CST Dear Deb and Family, I just want to apologize to you and your family. I am one of those readers and not a signer. I never know what to say. I read your entries and I think that you are such special people for all that you have been through. Angel Katelyn is such a beautiful little girl,, and God gave her very special parents and family. I cannot believe that people can be so cruel..They probably never lost a person that they loved so dearly. I lost my dad 5 1/2 years ago and I still talk about him like he is here..because in my heart he is. You are in my thoughts and Prayers. Have a wonderful weekend! Tina Tina Meehan <TMEEHAN60@AOL.COM> Wilmington, DE USA - Friday, January 13, 2006 1:36 PM CST Hey hey I just wanted to say hi. Sorry to hear that people don't sign.

Hope your day is great. Jen <hairy_pawter_freak@hotmail.com> Kingsville, ON Canada - Friday, January 13, 2006 9:46 AM CST Hello, it's Liz, Adam's mom checking in as I usually do. I'm sorry that you lost your Dad just months before Katelyn earned her wings. My mom had gone in for surgery and had the worst complications one can only have in the hospital. Infections, ventilator - I could go on and on. The time of Adam's last hospitalization (June 18-July 9) was particularly overwhelming. It was very hard to be in two places at once. I feel now I can handle anything that life throws me now. And yes, I have bookmarked Kirkland's site. I check on him everyday and I can tell his parents and brother are just wonderful. If someone were to tell me years ago that having a child with severe special needs is really a blessing, I'm not sure I would have believed them. But now I know it is true. And yes, we adopted Nina from Korea on 2/16/05 at 6 months old. It was a wonderful experience for all of us and I recommend that program. Bye for now. Liz <eneprice@comcast.net> Wayland, MA USA - Friday, January 13, 2006 8:39 AM CST Wahoo Happy Dance, No more Christmas music, no more christmas music!!

Christine Walton <crsrwalton@ciaccess.com> Merlin, - Friday, January 13, 2006 7:18 AM CST Hi Deb, I got a chance to read a little more of your site tonight. Your little princess was an amazing warrior, wasn't she? Such strong love, such strong fight in a teeny little body! Amazing, just like her mama! Thanks for checking in with us. We're enjoying the puppy! I loved the pictures on your home page with Katelyn and your goldens. It's true...happiness really is a warm puppy. Praying for peace for you and your family. I love that Katelyn sends you little messages. I've only had one from Dave. Maybe Katelyn will nudge him a little! Love, Michelle PROUD wife of Dave Michelle Meyer <meyer1986@charter.net> Walla Walla, WA US - Friday, January 13, 2006 2:30 AM CST How Far To Heaven How far is it to heaven? Is Heaven in our dreams at night? Or is it when we turn out the light. Is it there on a warm summer's day? Or is it there when you dream the day away. Is it born on a warm summer breeze? Or is it there when the leaves blow on the trees. Is it there when we wake to hear the birds in the morn? Or is it there when the day is long. Is it where the flowers bloom? Or is it when the sky is clear blue. All I know is that Heaven is here on Earth in every breath we take, every sight we see everything we taste, feel, smell & hear. Heaven is near.

I can't imagine what you must feel every second of every day, but please know that I keep you all in my prayers every day. I can totally relate to what you said about people coming to the site and not leaving a post. It IS very frustrating to see your counter go up but no post. Kari has not been getting many either. It seems that way for a lot of kids pages. HUMMMMMMMMMMMM! We love you guys lots! HUGS, Lisa and Kari Kari's Page <Lisa@iamtheshoe.com> Langley AFB, VA - Thursday, January 12, 2006 8:48 PM CST Hello - I'm Liz and I too have an angel. Angel Adam who died 2 years ago at 4 months old. His caringbridge site is: www.caringbridge.org/ma/bundle. User Name: "together", Password: "forever." I have enjoyed reading your site. I think I have visited once before. Sorry for not signing then. I totally understand the frustration. I too enjoy seeing encouraging words and become frustrated when it seems many are visiting, but not signing. I will check it on you. I can see that Katelyn was a beautiful child. I'm sure you know how lucky you are to have had such a wonderful child. I know Adam taught our whole family so much about love. That even when the person we love (more than anything) isn't with us, their love transcends all. I didn't know that before Adam died, but now I know.

To me personally::It was a blessing.With Katelyn being at Sick Kids so much of her life, we got to keep in contact with Debbie.So we weren't always in the dark about what was happening to the Squirt.Even though we alway's worried about her ,we got to know other people did also. Being able to put picture's on the site was the GREATEST.Then we got to see how much Katelyn had grown,To see her Wonderful smile :) and that **sparkle** that was always in those eye's. ****You know what I'm talking about**** Caring Bridge also means we get to meet alot of other families and see the pictures they post,then we can put a face to the kids that we are praying for. I like that. CARING BRIDGE IS A MIRACLE SITE.Without it families wouldn't know how many people really do care and are saying pray's for them.They can keep in contact with other family member's. Luv Conn (Angel Katelyn's Aunt) Connie <connie.beacom@sympatico.ca> Leamington, Ont - Thursday, January 12, 2006 11:01 AM CST Wahoo Way to go Karen!! This my dear is a standing Ovation! lol Deb, is lucky to call you friend!! And darnit, I love your shpellin! Christine Oh Hi Deb and Brian! heehee Christine Walton <crsrwalton@ciaccess.com> Merlin, - Thursday, January 12, 2006 7:10 AM CST What Caringbridge means to me??? Honestly caringbridge doesn't mean a whole lot to me personally, a few ppl who have caringbridge sites on the other hand do mean alot to me. What caringbridge means to Deb??? Caringbridge is an oulet for Deb, a place to go & share the memories of her daughter, her most intimate feelings, a way to be close to Katelyn, & keep her memory alive, SUPPORT! quite obviously if you spend any time around this site you can see the tremendous support people give, friendship, not only does Deb recieve support, she gives it! she spends alot of time looking @, & signing her friends sites & really cares about these people, & this community. Caringbridge is people, real live people not jst a computer screen, these are ppl who care. For whatever reason alot of people don't sign, for me, well i'm trying, but don't forget even if this guestbook has none, or very lil entries compared to the # of hits, remember every single hit on this site was impacted by Katelyn, & even if they don't sign ppl still care about you, & think of you often. There should be law about posting this late @ night lol hard to type let alone think! BUT look Deb i speeled tremendous! lol Love your real live friend! Karen Karen <tkspenner@shaw.ca> Victoria, B.C Canada - Thursday, January 12, 2006 1:05 AM CST Hi Deb, Just wanted you to know that you, Brian, and sweet Katelyn are in our prayers now and forever. HUGS, Lisa and Kari Kari's Page <Lisa@iamtheshoe.com> Langley AFB, VA - Wednesday, January 11, 2006 6:58 PM CST just me checking on my challenge, hope I didn't scare everyone away!!! Let's go people!!!! haha Christine Christine Walton <crsrwalton@ciaccess.com> Merlin, - Wednesday, January 11, 2006 1:44 PM CST sending tons of prayers your way...may 2006 be better... God bless Ozzie <ovieira@hartz.com > Harrison, NJ - Wednesday, January 11, 2006 11:44 AM CST sending tons of prayers your way...may 2006 be better... God bless Ozzie <ovieira@hartz.com > Harrison, NJ - Wednesday, January 11, 2006 11:39 AM CST Calling out to ALL people now!!!! Listen up all my peeps! lol oh yuck, now I know why I don't use that word! lol OKAY FOR REAL please read!!!! I've been doing the 12 days of Deb and Brian I'm on day 9 and 10 and now I need something from ALL of YOU!!!!! IT'S A CHALLENGE!!!! I challenge YOU, to tell me WHAT you think CaringBridge is? What it MEANS to you?! I'll start.... OK so in the literal sense: Caring- feeling and exhibiting concern and empathy for others; "caring friends" Bridge- a structure that allows people or vehicles to cross an obstacle Holy smokes so Caring bridge is the structure for families who are experiencing the hardest (in my opinion) obstacles in their lives! And the guestbook here is the CARING part! Going to a caring bridge page and reading and learning about these wonderful heroic people is wonderful, it's great that you take time out of your life to learn about these loved ones, But it is also important to cross that BRIDGE!! Maybe you don't know what to write, but trust me when I say, if you just put your name, that will show someone you care! You can even go back to your younger days and put "I was here" remember doing that on dirty car windows! heehee! Anyway, although I used the literal definitions, it really does make sense to me!! SO THIS IS MY CHALLENGE TO YOU!!! I DARE YOU TO TELL US WHAT CARINGBRIDGE MEANS TO YOU OR WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS TO DEB, BRIAN AND ANGEL KATELYN and all the other families out there for that matter! Thank you for your time, and for your space DEB!! love you, Christine Christine Walton <crsrwalton@ciaccess.com> Merlin, - Wednesday, January 11, 2006 7:26 AM CST Deb, Congratulations on that four years without smoking! What an accomplishment. I'm sorry that the turning of the new year brings so much sadness, though, as you contemplate what it means. There's just no way around the grief sometimes, is there? We're all sorry that you have to go through this process, and we wish that we had magic words to ease it.

Karen McPherson <idociam@hotmail.com> Bowmanville, - Tuesday, January 10, 2006 6:38 AM CST Hi, there is so much love in your web page and from all the people who come by. We wish you much love and happiness in 2006!! www.caringbridge.com/ma/abigail - Tuesday, January 10, 2006 6:21 AM CST Okay, let's get 'er done! lol I love that line! Not sure this will be in list form! Deb is used to my rambling and can sometimes make sense of it, after explaining it again! So I will try to stay on track! lol I would like to Explain parts of Deb to you by, not a sister's point of view, but a friends point of view or how I see her anyway... Deb is funny, quirky, trusting, open, honest, generous, strong, heroic, (which she'll deny but I won't let her), a not so good speller just like me, likes road trips, is not perfect because she is also human!! I have never in my life met someone who I can be so honestly open with and she listens! I used to warn her, can I ask you something? lol Sure go ahead she would say...and now, geez all I say is "just let me say something.".., "you know what?!" And I'm honest with her! One night when I was on the computer, my Dad Im'd me just to say goodnight, as always I was talking to Deb, so I thought "aww that is so sweet, I should tell Deb" Oh wait a minute, maybe it will make her sad and miss her Dad and I don't want to do that to her...." Well you know I told her and then proceeded to tell her why I almost didn't tell her! She was glad I had told her.... Anyway, I realize I haven't known Deb and Brian for that long but I do believe we ere meant to find each other! There were too many things in common to have not found each other! So everyday I am grateful because I know Deb is there!

I am so honored that Katelyn Brought you into my life, or me into yours or however she did it, umm Bonnie's first I guess! lol You have taught me so much about Love and devotion and about being human! We all know that the definition of "normal" is different for every family, common what does normal mean anyway! lol What you have taught me has helped me become a better person! Yes, Sometimes I don't know what to say, but you have taught me that that is okay! I will sit and wait and stand beside/behind you for support, with my mouth shut!

Sometimes it is hard to know the right thing to say or knowing there isn't a right thing to say, not saying anything hurts and saying the wrong thing hurts. I can't even begin to understand your pain and I wish there was more I can do, but always understand no matter what, I will always be there for you and Brian. You can always count on your friends and family no matter how frustrating life gets. I especially like the last paragraph on the poem, because I have wanted to hit several people that have said that same thing and I'm surprised you haven't. Even though we may not say or do the right thing we will Love you's always Bonnie bonnie <craft_freak101@hotmail.com> cottam, ont c - Sunday, January 1, 2006 8:03 PM CST Happy New Years, my friends! This holiday has special meaning to me as we were able to spend it with you and Katelyn last New Years at Sick Kids. Last night I was watching the fireworks at City Hall on TV and was remembering watching them from out the window on 7C. I thought of calling you when the clock struck but I decided against it and really hoped that you were out partying instead of sitting at home-like me. LOL You know what was really amazing to me this year...as Gerry and I did the countdown and kissed the new year in, I recollected on the year and commented that it was a GOOD year!? Gerry said, "Well it wasn't a good year but it wasn't a bad year." I corrected him and said , "No it was a good year...think of all the wonderful things that happened." Who woulda thought eh? that we could consider the trials of this life to be good. That's a perspective that only people with special little ones like ours could have, given the trying circumstances. I know 2006 is starting with a different outlook for you. I really do wish you peace and happiness. You're doing such a wonderful job adjusting to your lives yet keeping the memory of Katelyn alive and well. You really are my heroes and I depend on you for more than you know. All my love, Kelly and Kirkie xoxoxoxo Kelly Kilbride <kilbridek@yahoo.com> Georgetown, On Canada - Sunday, January 1, 2006 12:52 AM CST HAPPY NEW YEAR You did a wonderful job on the new years page (as always).

Not only that, I am inspired by your strength and unending faith, your spirit and most of all, the truest example of a mother and father's love and what it means to be a parent of a child. I am a mother too, I have a 22 month old son and I am going to hug him a little longer when he wakes up tomorrow morning, and I am going to spend every minute appreciating his life and the gift of his love. Sweet Katelyn must be watching over you so proud of her mommy and daddy, keeping her spirit alive the way you do each day. May peace be with you always, much love...

I've thought of you a lot over the past few days and I'm so thankful to have you 'three' in my life to teach me that everything will be okay and I'll get through it too! I know God sent you into our lives particularly for that purpose and for that I give thanks! Given the wonderful family and friends with which you've been blessed, I know you've been able to find merriment today. How could you not after having inherited that fun and uplifting attitude from a silly dad who wears homemade wigs made of other people's hair! LOL I know you've had fond reminiscences today of all his antics and I hope that your memories of him and Katelyn brought joy to your family. Kirkland sends his love. He had a great day and was totally spoiled. His brothers gave him lots of attention and opened his presents with him. It was very sweet. I'll call you in a couple of days when the visiting etc. settles down. Until then...

As we were at the hospital with dad and he was so sick and in alot of pain, he was missing you's so much. When we suggested putting on the wood shoes he thought it was such a great idea. He was in alot of pain and I remember asking him if we should do it another day. He quickly said NO, we have to make to make them smile because they are not with us today. I don't know if you realized how hard it was for dad to sit up in that bed and show his pearly whites but he certainly found the strength knowing how it would make you laugh. Have a wonderful holiday and keep all those special moments in your heart, The Boo will help you through this holiday season with all your wonderful memories....you may even find yourself smiling!

Corinne, angel Bree's mom www.caringbridge.org/hi/breanna Corinne Arthurs <barthun628@rogers.com> Woodstock, Ontario, Canada - Thursday, December 22, 2005 10:49 AM CST Christmas Without You The lights are blinking merrily The tinsel’s on the tree It sits there in the window For all the world to see. The house is filled with holly And pinecone scents the air The Christmas cards keep coming Each one is hung with care. The gifts are tied with ribbons red And topped with pretty bows I’m done with all the details As far as Christmas goes. The fire is softly glowing I think about your touch But Christmas isn’t Christmas I miss you oh, so much. If I could have just anything My Christmas wish would be To wake up in the morning And find you here with me. Staring at your picture I long to be set free Tonight the tears are streaming As I hold it next to me. Flakes of snow swirl through the air I’m braced for stormy weather I wait for brighter days ahead When we can be together. So hold a place in heaven Someday when life is through I’ll be the Christmas angel Who shares this day with you.

You are right. Christmas will still be awful tough as we will miss Jacob dearly but looking forward to spending a lifetime with Ange, Alyssa, and Kyle is DEFINATELY exciting. It would be perfect if Jacob was with us, and yes, he did have a hand in all of this for sure. We check your site as often as you do Jacob's and really are amazed at how much you do. We'll have to get together down the road and catch up...we miss seeing you and although they were not under the best circumstances at Sick Kids you always put a smile on our faces. Take care for now...thanks for all the warm wishes on our engagement...it is greatly appreciated. Katelyn... keep a good watch over mommy and daddy... we know how hard our first Christmas without you and Jacob are going to be, but we can smile at the though of you running hand in hand through the fields of Heaven.

Can't say that I don't sign in Bonnie bonnie <craft_freak101@hotmail.com> cottam, ont canada - Saturday, December 17, 2005 6:53 AM CST Just signing in....... Thanks for getting my Birthday on the right date, I must really be special! I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry when I read the update that reminded me of last year. I will always remember that special birthday surprise last year when you brought Katelyn in to see me, it was a really big surprise since I thought you were still in Toronto. The 2 guys at work still talk about that day because seeing the look on my face brought tears to thier eyes and they even admit it! To complete the day the look of surprise on dad's face laying in that hospital bed was so precious. It would be so wonderful to change the clocks back a year and savor that moment... Since that is not possible we have to cherish the memories we have and make sure we don't take those special days for granted because one day, those ordinary days will be the most precious treasures we have. Bonnie Ps I think my little girl was stopping by to wish me a Happy Birthday because when i went to the garage two doves flew out from behind the shrub and landed on the ground. Thanks for the surprise Katelyn but I think you have given the meaning of SURPRISE a new meaning! I love and miss you so much but when those birds scared the crap out of me, I just knew you were here!

Love Aunt Bonnie bonnie <craft_freak101@hotmail.com> cottam, ont canada - Saturday, December 17, 2005 6:51 AM CST Christmas Time It's Christmas time my family, Yes, it's that time of year. I'm not sure what it's like done there, but it's heavenly up here. There's lots of toys and lots of games. A cake and presents too. There's only one thing missing, And that one thing is you. But please don't cry my mummy, Don't fret my daddy please. Your present will still reach me, On this lovely Christmas eve. Cause I have a great big stocking, Which is hung beside my bed. The angels made it for me, And it's beautiful velvet red. And if, while you are sleeping, You feel a touch upon your cheek, Or maybe a gentle breeze blow by, It is an angel, so do not weep. Any thoughts you have for me, Or messages of love, The angels will collect them from you, And bring them up above. They will put them in my stocking, When I am fast asleep. And when I wake on Christmas morn, I'll have them all to keep. And so my precious family, As you can plainly see, Anything you want to say, The angels will bring to me. I know that it is hard for you, To be happy when your heart is broke. With a tear stained hanky on your lap, And a great big lump in your throat. But remember why we celebrate Christmas, Remember the birth of Christ. For it is because of him I have eternal life.

The website looks so beautiful!!! I LOVE the pictures of Katelyn at Christmastime. How precious! The poems are beautiful as well. Just want you to know I was thinking of you, as usual! And, of course, keeping you in our prayers. I think of Angel Katelyn lots...sometimes Emma stares off & smiles or giggles, seemingly at nothing. She's done this forever...I used to say she saw the baby angels. Now, when I see her do it, I picture Katelyn with her adorable smile watching over our Emma. Thank you for signing our guestbook. I'm going to go visit the special page you made now. Take care. (((HUGS))) Lauren & Emma <markhamfamily@msn.com> - Friday, December 16, 2005 10:57 PM CST Hi Deb! Caringbridge is such a neat organization! Through these websites we learn about and come to care about so many different people struggling through so many different things! You are such a neat person! I am so happy that I ran across your cb site! I just wanted to let you know that my heart goes out to you and your husband during this holiday season and my prayers are with you! I am POSITIVE that Katelyn is so proud of you and is watching over you always! I found this poem that I would like to share with you and a few other cb families that are also going through their first holiday season without their loved one! I think its beautiful and think you will like it! Hugs and Best wishes always! I give you this one thought to keep – I am with you still I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone – I am with you still – in each new dawn. - A Native American Prayer April & LOGAN <Aprilmolle@tampabay.rr.com> Port Richey, FL USA - Friday, December 16, 2005 7:04 PM CST HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONNIE!!!!!!!!!!!

Bonnie mentioned our Christmas tree down below, well it is most definately an original! a Katelyn original.... I've procrastinated putting up my tree, Due to things, the holiday mood has eluded us, anyway I drudged down to oour old farm house basement...ick... lol and brought up my tree in 3 pieces! First I brought up the top and middle, no Problem, my husband Rob was waiting at the top of the stairs to lay them in the living room, this is where Katelyn comes in! lol I went down to get the bottom piece, what do I find, a purple feather, so I look around, wondering what kind of purple feathers I have down there, and I have NONE, nothing in the basement or my house has purple feathers! I started giggling! As I got to the top of the stairs, Rob asked me what was so funny, I said look at this tree, what do you see, He says a purple feather, all I said was yeah, he looked at me and plainly said "Katelyn" lol Now this is a man who is not comfortable with how do I say this tactfully....umm..heavenly messages, yeah that sounds right! lol anyway I think he may be getting used to Our Little Miss. I mean what choice did the poor guy have! lol So needless to say, I got out the camera to show Deb, and I left it on the tree! I drew a heart around it on the picture! Christine Walton <crsrwalton@ciaccess.com> Merlin, - Thursday, December 15, 2005 2:30 PM CST Ok, I'mm snowed in and still reading the webpages!

How thoughtful of you to do this for the children - not to mention the time and work involved. You are a very special person. Rosemarie (Justina's Grandma) Waterford, MI USA - Wednesday, December 14, 2005 4:12 PM CST Angel Tears at Christmas God sends His lovely angel tears To us this time of year They float and tumble through the air And send out Christmas cheer. Each flake He sends is special From out of wintry skies They paint a pretty picture To soothe our weary eyes. They glide and twirl as if to say The season's just begun And gently beckon to us To join in merry fun. Like sparkling gems, they fill the sky And quietly take up space They seem to flow in harmony Attired in angel lace. At Christmas time when all is calm We look to things above For angel tears and Christmas To fill our lives with love. A sacred star shines in the East As Christmas day draws near A manger scene, a Holy night And gentle angel tears. The children gather 'round the tree To hear the Christmas story As angel tears fall to the earth To trim the earth in glory. His precious tears drift to the earth So everyone will know A child was born in Bethlehem It's written in the snow. So if you get to feeling blue And plagued by worldly fears Just look outside your window God's shedding angel tears.

The sight is so spectacular, Please wipe away that tear, For I’m spending Christmas, With Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs, That people hold so dear, But the sounds of music don’t compare, With the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you, The joy their voices bring, For it is beyond description, To hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart, But I am not so far away, We really aren’t apart. So be happy for me, dear ones, You know I hold you dear And be glad I’m spending Christmas, With Jesus Christ this year. I send you each a special gift, From the heavenly home above, I send you each a memory, Of my undying love. After all “Love” is a gift, More precious than pure gold, It was always most important, In the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, As my heavenly father said to do, For I can’t count the blessings of love, He has for each of you. So have a Merry Christmas, And wipe away that tear, Remember, I’m spending Christmas, With Jesus Christ this year.

I am so sorry for your loss. Bless you, Beth Lennox <ejlennox@cox.net> Newport News, VA - Friday, November 25, 2005 7:58 AM CST I'm so glad that your mother's news is encouraging so far. I'm a 15-year cancer survivor, and I know how scary anything a little unusual can be in those first years. I'm sorry that you're having to go through that scare, but that advice given to you to not worry until you're told to worry sounds like great advice. It's just terribly hard to follow, isn't it? Linda, Emmi's Grammie (tx/emmipaige) Irving, TX - Friday, November 25, 2005 6:13 AM CST Hi Guys I love the angel in your garden. It is so big!! It looks so nice at night. That is also sooo great about the CDG bracelets. I will get one for Tayler and myself. I will send you an email Deb. Maybe I can send you an email money transfer if you do online banking. That would be an easy way to get the money to you. Thanks for the birthday wishes for Tayler. I cannot believe he is 11. I can;'t believe you still have flowers hanging around. I am also so happy to hear about the test results. Take care you guys Shannon <sleveille@hotmail.com> - Thursday, November 24, 2005 3:16 PM CST Hi guys, I just wrote a long entry but had to tend to Kirk.

LOL Sara again <waffle13@comcast.net> Florida, - Wednesday, November 23, 2005 9:10 PM CST Hey Deb, I just stopped by to look at pictures of Princess Puffy Cheeks. I love the picture you entered in the costume contest. Katelyn was such a beautiful girl. :) I was just thinking of you the other day ... I finally unpacked the box that had the catheter holder things in it, from our move. Those things are SO helpful! Especially now that Emily has a double lumen Broviac. One line is always hooked to TPN, but the other line is always loose. Those clips work perfectly for keeping it out of her hands. :) I hope you have a good Thanksgiving ... and know that I was thinking of you. :) Sara, Emily's mommy - http://www.caringbridge.org/ca/emilyalexisrose <waffle13@comcast.net> Florida now!, - Wednesday, November 23, 2005 9:08 PM CST Hi Deb!

Can't wait for Christmas and your new webpage. I know for a fact what a webpage wizard you have become!! hehe. Hope everyone has a great weekend. luv you! Mur <mur28@hotmail.com> - Saturday, November 19, 2005 9:32 AM CST Hi guys, Just popping by to say hi. Don't you dare feel bad for not checkin into Kirk's guestbook, Deb. I'm glad you're keeping yourself busy! I'm the guilty one...neglecting you and all the other families. Hopefully I'll have more free time now. I'm celebrating tonight 'cause I finished my last thank you card today! YIPPEE! I don't think I even wrote this much when I was back in university LOL. Right now I don't want to even look at a pen. I must admit...despite the yucky cold, the snow here has started to bring out the Christmas spirit in me. I haven't had any since my dad died in Dec. 2001. It's very welcome to enter our home- that's for sure. My Christmas shopping is well under way and we plan to put the tree up next weekend. It's too early for me but I want to do it all while the going's good. Last year was a nightmare because we were hospitalized most of November and December. This year I want to be proactive so we can relax a little and enjoy the Christmas season, God willing. Please pray that things remain stable over the holidays??! I'm taking my brother-in-law Keith to the psychic tomorrow. I'll be sure to ask if she has any messages from a little purple butterfly. Have a good weekend and don't work too hard. Give our love to everyone. Luv kelly and Kirkland xoxoxo Kelly Kilbride <kilbridek@yahoo.com> Georgetown, On Canada - Friday, November 18, 2005 10:44 PM CST Hi Deb! Nurse Jody's sister Deana here... Jody sent me the link to vote for Katelyn but I was unable to because of an unsupporting e-mail program... No Outlook Express or something like that... But I really would have voted for her!! I have been meaning to send you this poem for some time now... No time like this moment... It is quite beautiful & brings tears to my eyes every time I have read it... I might have sent it to Jody before & perhaps she may have passed it along?? Anyways here it is... I am sure you have kleenex handy... Love & Prayers, Deana What Makes a Mother I thought of you and closed my eyes And prayed to God today. I asked what makes a Mother And I know I heard him say... A mother has a baby This we know is true. But, God, can you be a mother when your baby is not with you? Yes, you can He replied, With confidence in His voice. I give many women babies When they leave is not their choice. Some I send for a lifetime, And others just for a day. And some I send to feel your womb, But there's no need to stay. I just don't understand this God, I want my baby here. He took a breath and cleared His throat And then I saw a tear. I wish I could show you What your child is doing today. If you could see your child smile With other children and say: "We go to earth to learn our lessons Of love and life and fear. My mommy loved Oh so much I got to come straight here. I feel so lucky to have a mom Who has so much love for me. I learned my lessons very quickly, My mommy set me free. I miss my mommy Oh so much, But I visit every day. When she goes to sleep On her pillow is where I lay. I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek And I whisper in her ear. Mommy don't be sad today, I'm your baby and I'm here." So, you see my dear sweet one, Your children are not blue. Your babies are here in MY home, They'll be at Heaven's gate waiting for you. So now you see what makes a mother, It's the feeling in your heart. It's the love you had so much of, Right from the very start. Though some on earth may not realize you are a mother, Until their time is done. They'll be up here with Me one day, And they'll know you were the best one! by Jennifer Wasik in memory of Zachary Thomas Wasik Deana <d_poole@sympatico.ca> Amherstburg, ON Canada - Friday, November 18, 2005 8:52 PM CST Prayers coming your way and as for thoughts... you and your family are always in my thoughts!

It sure takes a lot of time to keep them up and running. Can hardly wait to see it. Frances, Paul and family (ALL-Kids) @ Lucas' page <hammonds@wincom.net> Amherstburg, but presently WIndsor, as we wait patiently to be 24 hours fever free in the hospital, - Friday, November 18, 2005 10:45 AM CST I will certainly keep that family member facing surgery in my thoughts and prayers. I love the new pictures, especially the Christmas ones of Katelyn and those of her with the goldens. My first golden adopted our oldest grandchild as her puppy, and used to stick her nose under Jill's tummy to support her when she first got up on hands and knees. Our current golden thinks our grandchildren are all his puppy mates, and is sometimes a bit too rough with Emmi, who has balance problems, but our lab mix makes up for it, letting Emmi cuddle him much as Katelyn was cuddled with your golden. I'm sure Katelyn's life was enriched by her contact with these animal friends, too. I'm glad she had some times at home with family and friends . . . and dogs! Linda, Emmi's Grammie (www.caringbridge.org/tx/emmipaige) Irving, TX - Friday, November 18, 2005 6:50 AM CST Hi Deb, I will give Mom a hug for you the next time I see her.

I see Kirk's been busy visiting Brandon's webpage. That daughter of yours sure got him hooked on the internet, didn't she! Every time I turn around he's begging to go on line. LOL Have a good weekend everyone! It's nice to see Christine in person. Now she's a Katelyn groupie too and can have her 'claim-to-fame'! Bye! luv Kelly and Kirkland xoxoxo Kelly Kilbride <kilbridek@yahoo.com> Georgetown, On Canada - Thursday, November 10, 2005 7:12 PM CST Hi Deb, I’m Justina’s grandma and I just dropped by to check out your web page – what a wonderful memorial to a beautiful Angel. This is not the first time I’ve seen your page – the first time was when Justina emailed a link to me because she wanted me to read about the cute little baby she met in the hospital. From their first meeting, Katelyn made a huge impression on Justina and I truly believe that God planned it that way. Justina checked in on Katelyn’s progress daily and to this day carries pictures of Katelyn wherever she goes. When Justina wanted to learn how to scrapbook, it was no surprise to see that her first scrapbook was all about Katelyn. When she was taken by ambulance to London and found out she would be staying there for a while, the first item on her list of things she wanted from her house was her pictures of Katelyn. I’m so glad God blessed you with Angel Katelyn. Even though her time here was very short she has left her mark in this world and she will live on in the hearts of those she touched even those of us who never had the opportunity to meet her in person. Thank you for the love and encouragement you have shown Justina and thank you to Angel Katelyn for watching over Justina. Rosemarie (Justina's Grandma) Waterford, MI USA - Thursday, November 10, 2005 1:49 PM CST I am heading out for the weekend... so I just wanted to drop in and say "Have a great weekend!"
