certainly were ! She may have had weak heart - a heart that gave us
only eight precious months - but her soul was never stronger; her
unconditional love never more pure. Kaitlyn not only just changed
many lives, she changed forever the way these lives are now lived.
Kaitlyn's mother, Jeanette, now works as a teacher's aide for the
Space Coast Early Intervention Center in Melborne, Florida, is an
active parent advocate for Parent-To-Parent network, and helped
start a local Respite program. Her father, Derek, writes constantly
to literally every level of government, and has had several editorials
published in newspapers, all in the effort to promote the very real
contributions special people can truly offer to our communities. Sara
, her neighbor, babysitter, best friend, future pediatrician for children
with special needs - and the person entirely responsible for the idea
and design of this page and almost all of it's content - was probably
changed most of all. We have these lives today because of Kaitlyn,
but we live them these ways for you. For your son, your daughter,
your brother, your sister.... for you.
"Sing on somewhere, at some new moon;
We'll learn that sleeping is not death.
Hearing the whole Earth change it's tune."
