Just a little bit about Kaitlyn...

A Warrior Princess and now an Angel to all of us. She is my daughter, my first born child. She made me a mom. Giving birth to Kaitlyn was the happiest day of my life. Thank you for choosing me to be your mom. Thank you for sharing your very short, but remarkable journey. Kaitlyn exemplified love, courage, intelligence, compassion and kindness.
