THURSDAY, APRIL 30 TH - A day for KATIE ROSE

Thursday, April 30 th is significant as this would've been Katie's 17 th birthday. We all miss her greatly. Here is a story from three year old Kelsi Andrews:

Kelsi saw the cross on the wall. Kelsi said "that's a cross like Jesus died on. My mom and dad say that Jesus isn't on the cross anymore. He's alive and in Heaven. Grandma said, "yes, that is true". Kelsi said, "..my friend was in an accident and she died and is in heaven with Jesus, I miss Katie so much, she was my teacher in nursery class." Katie Rose loved the little kids and Kelsi is one of those kids that remembers the kindness of Katie.

Pray for Scot, Carolyn (Cary), and Brent as on this day (Thursday, April 30) they remember the birthday of Katie Rose. Honor Katie Rose today by doing what she always said to her Dad, "Make right choices."

  1. Dear Scot and Carolyn,
    We know this must be a hard day for you and we have been remembering you in prayer. Katie was such a sweetheart and we feel blessed to have known her. It's amazing as you reflect back over these blog entries and facebook entries how much Katie touched and impacted so many lives...it really is incredible! That is definitely something you can be proud of!

    We are so relieved by the progress Brent is making and hope the next time we see him he can high five us. Christopher has asked for you to pass on his best wishes to Brent too!
    Take care and God bless!
    Cort, Angela, Ashley and Christopher

  2. Happy Birthday, Katie. Though we miss you terribly, we trust you are at peace with your heavenly Father. We WILL be together again.
    Praying for you Scot and Cary, as these first anniversaries are very difficult after the passing of one you loved. Praying that you may find joy in memory.
    Still praying.
