"After hearing about Katie’s passing this morning, as I was driving to work a DJ on the radio said, “finally we have some sunshine!” and I started to cry. Although this world is missing one of the sweetest to ever step foot on it’s soil, I truly believe with all my heart that Katie will be bringing us all sunshine for years and years to come. Some people touch your life for awhile and then they have to leave you, and by the looks of this group many have felt the joy of knowing such a sweet, funny and loving girl. When I remember Katie, I will remember laughing and laughing and laughing. I will remember dancing in our German IV classroom and laughing some more. I will remember a girl who bridged the gap of people and crowds in high school with her kind and open heart - the girl who could make friends with anyone. I will remember warm hugs and hellos years after high school was over. I will remember the day at Applebee’s when she ran up to my table, hugged me, and invited me to come to her graduation party from nursing school. I will remember a soul so important to so many that she started a movement in our highest level of state government to make the world a better place for other people. I will think of the group of 5,335 people who were broken hearted on February 18th, 2010. I will remember the sunshine. I love you Viger, and I KNOW you are having a dance party with the angels. You are and will always be missed and loved. No pain anymore. Just love and love and love. ♥" (My post on the day Katie went to heaven.)
This picture warms my heart and makes me cry. It was Katie's passing away this week and my hours of sobbing and questioning that sparked something in me. I, for the first time in years and years, went to church and enjoyed it. That's really all I want to say about church. At any rate, I've come to the conclusion that if people like the two pictured above can be made to leave this place at such an early age, where ever they are going must be absolutely beautiful, amazing, and in need of some real angels. My fistful of glitter this week comes from the loss of my Aunt Daryl, in a time of great sadness for her, and Angel Katie, who was ready to go and bring us beautiful sunshiney days.

So, I don't think I've ever met this person, but what you wrote about her definately made me tear up. Those were very kind words and you make it sound like I missed out on meeting an extremely beautiful person. I know that its more than a month after her passing, but I am very sorry for your loss, B!
