You were the greatest of hearts,
Always filled with so much love.
Now you're gone but not forgotten,
You're up with our Lord above.

You look down upon us,
And ask us not to be so sad.
But to rejoice in the memories,
Especially for your brother, sister, mom and dad.

When ever your loved ones were in need,
You were always there to lend a hand.
You never really let anything get you down,
You always stayed positive and made everyone glad.

Your smile on your face,
Would brighten up everyones day.
I'm so sadden by everything,
I wish I was there to see you today.

I'll miss you like everyone else,
And wait for that one day.
Because I know, no matter what Katie my friend,
I'll be up there, and I'll see you another day.


I miss you Katie.  I can't wait to see you again.  I know you're looking down upon all of us, protecting us and guiding us.  I'm sorry I can't be here to say goodbye to you my friend.  So I guess I'll say it though this poem I wrote you.  I love you and I miss you Katie, and I'll see you again later.  Until then.  Farewell my friend, and you're memory will never be forgotten
