  14. This past summer I volunteered to to help Why Not Today by picking vegetables out of their Garden at Avon Christian Church. Katelyn and Brayden both taught me when the Zuchinni and tomatoes were ready to be picked. Katelyn stayed by my side and carried bags for me to put the veggies in. Those were special times for me. Thank you Neureiter Family for sharing Katelyn with me. You are all a very special family. I am amazed by your faith and service for God.

  15. Katelyn was so loved by everyone at imagination station and she was the light of the classroom. Her smile will always be remembered. To her parents and brother, my heart is heavy for you guys and I’m praying for you all. On the behalf of myself and her friends in prek, we will forever hold a special place in our hearts for her. Ms Heather loves you katelyn so much and always will.

  16. Katelyn always gave me hugs at church, her smile was filled with sunshine, and her bond behind Katelyn and her brother, Brayden, was stronger than any sibling bond I have ever seen. I have many fond memories of Princess Katelyn, but two of the most vivid for me are playing in her backyard at the Why Not Today Farm, where we took her Disney Princess toys on a ‘trip’ in the ‘car’. My other vivid & joy-filled memory is Katelyn & Brayden playing with my 11 month old grandson at my house recently. Katelyn’s & Brayden’s playfulness had my grandson ‘ belly-laughing’, the first time he had ever done that! Katelyn stole my heart at Vacation Bible School, when we dug in the sand for toy lizards, Katelyn naming hers ‘Princess’ and when Katelyn danced with joyousness, with me, as we sang the VBS theme song. Princess Katelyn, you will always be in my heart!

  17. I will miss her sweet smile, her vivacious spirit and love of life. What a legacy that will live on and on.

  18. God bless you with the peace and hope of heaven. For your sweet little girl is resting peacefully in His arms. And you will see her again someday.
