Dear Alan and Vickie,
I’ve been thinking of you so much the past few days knowing you would be celebrating Christmas today and knowing how very trying the day would be for you – Christmas is about family…spending time with them, celebrating, being together. I’m so sorry Katie wasn’t able to spend Christmas with you here….but she will spend every Christmas with you for the rest of your lives – wherever life takes you, Katie will be with you,and you, with Katie. As I write those words, it doesn’t seem to be enough. I so wish Katie was with you here. I take solace that as hard as today’s church service was for you, you felt Katie’s presence and the congregation’s support. In the darkest times, remember that support and how it made you feel.
Your honoring of Katie’s life through Kisses from Katie is something that we all look forward to seeing grow – it will be such a healing, hopeful time as you move forward to help others that find themselves where you found yourselves last May. As I’ve said before, your Katie will never be forgotten – she has changed everyone that knew her, whether through your beautiful words or by being lucky enough to be called her family. Your angel is looking down on you and all who love you and smiling her beautiful “Katie” smile. Nothing will ever take that away from you.
Merry Christmas Alan and Vickie, Merry Christmas Katie and all my wishes for peace, hope, and healing to you in 2009 and beyond.
Much love, Barb xxx

Dear Alan and Vickie,

I am so sorry I missed the Toy Drive in Katie’s memory. I will try and remember to check the website to see about upcoming events. Do you have a mailing list that I can be added to?

You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I love looking at the pictures of Katie and reading your entries. I can tell that even though she was here for only a short time – her life was filled with love.

You have such a beautiful ability to express your thoughts and feelings. Perhaps someday you will write a book to help inspire other people and show them how to live every day to the fullest.

Thanks again for reminding me what’s important in life! I know one thing – Katie is the luckiest little girl to have both of you as her parents.

Love,
Margaret Richter
