>Dear Katie,

    First I want to say that you aunt Judi and cousin Joshua miss you very much.  We were looking forward to spending time with you, going shopping with you and watching you grow.  I know you would have made your mommy and daddy very happy and very proud.  
   When your mommy asked me to write something for your page, I had a lot of ideas of what to write.  First I was going to tell you how much I missed you and everything we had planned for you.  Then I thought, no that's no good,  everyone else is doing that, your Aunt Judi has to do something unique so I thought I would use this opportunity to tell you about your mommy. 
    I know,  you think you already know all about your mommy, after all you watch over her everyday but you're wrong Katie Liz,  there's a lot more to your mommy then what you can see from Heaven.  You would be so proud of your mommy Katie!  She is one of the most generous, loving people around.  Your mommy was the very first and actually the only friend I had when I moved to New Jersey.  Your mommy watched over me when we were working together - the same way she would have watched over you.  Your mommy helped to take care of your cousin Joshua - the same way she would have taken care of you.  Your mommy loves to shop - and she would have dragged you to every shopping mall in New Jersey -and bought you anything you asked for.  Your mommy loves to cook - she would have baked your very first birthday cake and baked  lots of snacks for your school parties.  Your mommy would have taught you how to ride a bike and how to roller-skate. She would have broken up any fights between you and your brother Jimmy - and made each of you feel like you were the winner.  She would have showed you how to sew and would have made your Halloween costumes every year from scratch. Your mommy would have said "very nice" to all the frilly dresses I bought you - and then laughed with you as the two of you returned them for something else.   Oh Katie!  I wish you had gotten the chance to know your mommy and to do all those things with her!   Everyone here misses you so much and we all love you so much.  Take care of yourself and others around you in Heaven. 
                                                            Love,

                                                            Aunt Judi
