[VERSE 1]
We sign our cards and letters BFF
You've got a million ways to make me laugh
You're lookin' out for me; you've got my back
It's so good to have you around

You know the secrets I could never tell
And when I'm quiet you break through my shell
Don't feel the need to do a rebel yell
Cause you keep my feet on the ground

[CHORUS 1]
You're a true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Til it's alright again
You're a true friend

[VERSE 2]
You don't get angry when I change the plans
Somehow you're never out of second chances
Won't say "I told you" when I'm wrong again
I'm so lucky that I've found

[CHORUS 2]
A true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Til it's alright again

[BRIDGE]
True friends will go to the ends of the earth
Till they find the thing you need
Friends hang on through the ups and the downs
Cause they've got someone to believe in

[CHORUS 3]
A true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
No need to pretend
You're a true friend
You're here till the end
Pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Til it's alright again
You're a true friend [3x]

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, 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 stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

Wishing you were somehow here again, wishing you were somehow near,

sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed, somehow you would be here . . . 

Wishing you were somehow here again, knowing we must say goodbye,

Try to forgive, teach me to live, give me the strength to try...

No more memories, no more silent tears . . .<3

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there...

This poem is dedicated to Kitti, Michael, Michael John & everyone who loved Kaitlin (too many to mention) who need some comfort in their time of grief...............

 

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

 

For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to the Lord.  This bothered me because I noticed that during the lowest times of my life, when I was suffering from anguish and sorrow, I could only see one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,

 

"Lord, you promised me that if I followed you, you would walk with me always.  But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.  Why, when I needed you the most, have you not been there for me?

 

The Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you!  During your times of trial and suffering when you saw only one set of footprints, IT WAS THEN THAT I CARRIED YOU!"

For her family, friends that love and miss her

It's hard to know just what to say,
When one so young is taken away.
Far too soon she had to part,
Her memory forever engraved in your heart.

We only knew her for a short while,
But the life she led made us smile.
She was so beautiful and oh so rare,
Life as they say just isn't fair.

All our love to those left behind
For now you must go on.
Those gone before her will watch her with care,
Till the day comes when you will join her there.

Know Kaitlin is watching from heaven above,
And with each ray of sunshine, she's sending her love.

We are so sorry for your loss, you are in our prayers, Kaitlin RIP

To my KayKay,
I love you so very much, everyone does. I miss you more than you can ever imagine. I hope you know how much I love you and your brother and only wanted to protect you as if you were my own. I did think of you as my little girl and enjoyed every moment together, even if we were arguing, having fun or you being mad at me for making you do chores (and you would respond, "iamgine!?"    I wish you would walk in the door and yell out to me, but I have to remind myself that you won't   I feel so lost without you. Please watch over us all and stay with us forever. Help me go on each day because right now I don't know how to. I am so happy that I got to spend almost every day with you for the past 5 years. I miss our random baking, shopping, running around with your practices, listening to your homework, giving you spelling bees, every little thing. I saw asparagus and started crying. Everything that relates to you and me hurts so much now, because you are not here with me to share it   I hope I brought you happiness during the time we spent together. Today I took down the tree, and could not stop thinking about the day we put it up. I was so happy to tell Sam about it! How you told your friends you "weren't allowed to go out", so you could stay inside with your Noey and decorate, wrap gifts, make delicious meatballs!, and bake an awesome Christmas cake. You have no idea how happy you made me when you said you love doing things like this  I'll always rememeber our memories and crazy adventures, and even movie nights on the couch, and getting you all dolled up for your dances! Remember Rent and the board games in the basement?! I am still in shock and can't get that terrible night out of my head. The phone call you only see happen in movies, I never thought I would hear those words...I love you forever and ever my KayKay, please I hope you know what you meant and still mean to me <3 xoxox
Love always and forever and ever,
Your Noey xoxo

When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not here to see... If the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today... While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you... And each time you thin...k... of me, I know you'll miss me, too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand... That Jesus came and called my name and took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready in heaven far above... And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart... For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.

My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it. 39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.” 40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44 The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;
