Godmother,

Ever since I was little I remember all thoes times I went to your house with ryan and Jackie and we always had a couple day sleepover, I loved that.
I Miss you like crazy, everyday I think about you, and How bad I wish you were back. All I can just keep telling myself, is that you are in a better place where diabetes is not taking over your life. Uncle tom and you were very important in my life and I want you both back!

You were a great friend and sister.
I will cherish every memory I have, from early childhood years to recent days. You are in my heart forever, even though my heart is heavy now, I will smile when I think of you. I was truly blessed to have you as a sister. We grew together throughout the years, through good times and bad. I've watched your struggles with Diabetes and "Kathy's Klan" will go on stronger then ever.
Although you are gone for now, you live in each heart you have ever toughed. You were a very special person.
I love you and will miss you always.
