Three Years and It Seems Like Just Yesterday



Katie,
They said it would get easier with each passing year . . . it just isn't so! We miss you like it was just yesterday.


Dad misses your favorite phrase "make good choices Dad" which he would reply "blew that, I got out of bed".
Mom misses kissing you all over your beautiful face and telling you how much she loves you.
Brent misses you most on road trips.
Grandpa and Grandma Peterson miss your amazing and always willing hugs along with your smile.
Grandpa and Grandma Neufeld miss your hugs too but they also miss their "Ricochet" and watching old slide shows with you.

Some friends were asked what they missed.
One said she misses you the most when she thinks of the great memories you made together at the Camp Kadesh Youth Retreat.
Another friend said she misses the crazy things the two of you would fight over. She said "we fought like sisters and you were like a sister to her."

Regardless of anyone's memory, one thing holds true, you were there for EVERYONE! You were a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, and always had a hug when someone neeed it . . . for anything you were always there. Maybe that is why we miss your presence so much.

Love You Always,
Dad, Mom & Brent
Family & Friends

Thanks to everyone who has read the blog, prayed for our family and kept us in your prayers. We would love to hear your favorite memories of Katie.

Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying.
