Birthday Girl


We are thinking of you on your birthday, Katheryn.  Thankful for your friendship and for all the memories and little reminders I have of you around the house.  Although we don't get to see Oscar often, we are glad to know he is doing well and is so loved.
Amara and Jake

Happy Birthday

Remembering you, missing you, and loving you on the day the world was blessed with your arrival.
Happy Birthday Miss Katie!

Missing you on your birthday.

Oscar grows more like you with every passing day – a bittersweet reminder of our love and loss.

Perspective

shine some always
from your highest tower
up in the clouds
where notions gather

bless your loves
happiness in shower
down here in nature
where oceans matter

Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day was Sunday 3 April and I am a few days late, but I wanted you to know you were in my heart all day. We went out to Whitchurch for the day, intending to have a picnic, but it was a bit cold. So, we had a picnic on the floor of grannie and grandpa Watson's front room. Then we went out walking, exploring, playing at the park and watching the road works (which the boys loved). 

It's an honour and a privilege to be in Oscar's life. He is doing so well, Katie. He loves to draw, colour, build with legos, play video games with Aidan, and rough-house with the boys. He's blossoming into a healthy, loving, confident little boy. He and Aidan get on beautifully and he really looks up to his older brother. They do have their squabbles here and there, but overall they are a great little pair. One of my favourite times of the day is when I'm cooking dinner and I can hear them playing and pretending in the front room, making up their sweet stories, laughing at each other's jokes, and enjoying each other's company. I can't even tell you how amazing it is for the two of them to have each other. Aidan has blossomed as well and loves his role as big brother. 

I see so much of you in Oscar. He's a little daydreamer, just like you, and he's a sweet, sensitive soul. I love being a part of his life and I hope I can live up to the precedent you set as his mother. I promise I will love him and nurture him, and he will always know and remember his mama Katie. The talk you and I had on chocolate martini night, sitting on the patio in Texas, is forever etched in my memory and I promise to live up to and do everything you asked of me. Your boys are in safe, loving hands and your sweet spirit is a part of our home.

I love you and miss you dearly,
Jessica

Happy Bee, Love!

My sweet, sweet Katie, how much I truly miss you! You have been a reminder to me to cherish each and every special moment we are blessed to have, here on earth. Your beauty and grace, honesty and pure patience, is something that puts so many of the crazy moments into perspective. Your friendship is something I miss terribly, one that can never be replaced, but one that will be with me forever. Our memories of beautiful moments, shared with family and friends, will stay with me in my heart.

Each night I tuck Ethan into bed I remember you in our prayers. Tonight we prayed that his precious Auntie Katie was in heaven with Nona, and all of our angels who have passed on to a better place. We prayed that you were happy and at peace, knowing how much you are loved.

I think of you everyday, I miss you everyday and sometimes wish if only…..that is just life…..so because I can't change it I will remember those things that make me a better person for knowing you and I will carry those with me each day. I love you and miss you. I hope you are at peace and I will keep you in my heart forever. Take care, love and until we meet again…. Misses……

Love,
Me, E&E

Love You, Katie! Happy Bee Day!

This photo was taken in London 2005--spending some quality time together.  So thankful to have these memories with my friend. 
We lit a candle for you this morning, Katheryn--the bee candle that you had given to me.  Miss you today and always! 
All our love,
Amara and Jake


 








I miss you and all the crazy adventures we somehow got ourselves in and out of. What a wonderful collection of memories you have given all of us fortunate enough to know you.

Lots of love & stings!

Animal

To Oscar:
Here's a picture of Baby Efren (aka Animal) and maybe you guys can be friends one day. Maybe we can have a play date in the future. We travel a lot, so we might be able to go to you. I would love to play with you and Animal should be entertaining, as well. We send hugs and snuggles.
Your friend,
Tammy Perez del Cano
 

Cutie Pie

KATIE! When I think about you I get happy.....and then sad. We both are goofballs and our silly ways and outlandish ideas made sense to each other. I enjoyed knowing you and having you as my friend. We had so much in common and if you were alive I would tell you to move to Nashville because I think you would have liked it here and I think it is what you were looking for. I hold our memories in San Diego, Spain and France dear to my heart. We had some of the best times of our lives together, especially when we were in Europe with Marci. I could live that trip over and over again. You were a great person and I will remember you as being beautiful and having a perfect face, like a doll. I'm sad that your life was cut short, especially now that I have my own son and I am experiencing the joys of motherhood. But maybe our son's will be friends in the future (when they grow up some) and I can make him laugh...like I'm sure you used to. I will try to stay in touch so that I can tell him all the great memories that I had with you. I love you Katie. Thank you for the good times and keep smiling sweetie. We miss you!

Happy Bee Day

Katie........Thank you for giving us a reason to extend love and joy in the world. Your light will forever shine bright through the spreading of love on this day, your day. Your beautiful spirit is sorely missed. You will live on eternally in my heart and soul, my sweet girl, my best friend. I love you always and forever.

A lovely evening spent remembering you Katie. Holding our candles as Oscar said "Daddy, I can't believe I am holding a candle!" A quiet time for reflection. I looked at David tonight in awe watching him be the perfect host to your Mum and Dwight.
You were loved and you are still Katie-girl.

Katie's Legacy

Hey all... just thinking about Katie's love light - her expression of grace.
And how I wish I had some video footage of her dancing a more happy dance.
Seems Modern dance is usually about heavy things, dark things... and Katie truly
had a aura of lightness, fleeting grace ... but a strength to overcome - to "get
over it". I miss her and am so blessed to have known her.

Happy Bee Day Katie!

 

Katie,

Thinking of you today girl! In celebration of your wonderful memory I’m gonna have a beeelicious Veggie Burger with Monterey Jack Cheese…I might even get a little crazy and enjoy another favorite snack of yours when we lived together in San Diego, Wheat Thins and Monterey Jack Cheese!  I attached one of my most favorite pictures of you… makes me smile everytime.

To Katheryn

Happy Bee Day Katie. I love you and miss you, and think of you often. Today I will make sure to tell those in my life that I love them, give a little kiss or squeeze in the name of bee day, all while thinking of you. I'm sure all those around your family and especially those near Oscar will be doing the same. My memories of you are sweet reminders that life is beatiful, thank you for that.
Love,
Miss Marcelina
(with the almond eyes you like so much)

Remembering...

Remembering a special Mummy and a lovely friend. One that we hadn’t got to know quite as much as we would have hoped, but we are so glad of the times we did share. Happy Beeday Katie. I’m sure you are so happy and proud for David and Oscar right now.

Beeday Stings from Joanna, Simon, Harry and Tilly

Happy BEE-day Katie

I'm certain you've been with us recently... I met a lovely young lady from San Diego who was in Isleworth for a few nights. We had coffee in Greedies and we sat chatting about this and that when she said two words that could have come straight from your lips... "Oh Jonnnnnnney", in the exact same smiling, drawn out lilt we've all heard you use so often.... "Oh Carrrrmen... Oh Nooome"... "Oh Jonnnnnnney"... and so on. It gave me goosebumps.
I'm also sure you sat with us at Sunday lunch, when we got to see Dave shine with new love and hope and Oscar laughing and happy... you would have been warmed to the heart and so so proud.
Happy BEE-day Katie, you are BEE-loved and missed by all. C xxx

A one of a Kind Daughter

A day does not go by that I do not recall Katie's energy, optimism, and love. And a day does not go by that I won't remember how events conspired to steal this wonderful and creative personality from us all. I truly miss my daughter.

But it does not mean we cannot all reflect on her generosity and uniqueness. Only Katie would ponder the blandness of September or October and attempt to create something as novel as Bee Day. A simple yet effective way of expressing kindness and attention to each other. I say well done, Katie, well done.

I also believe Katie would be extremely surprised and gladden by all the positive responses and feelings her legacy generated. Katie was not one to seek attention but I know she will be most pleasantly gratified to learn October 7th became "officially" Bee Day.

God bless you, Angel, we all miss you so much.

Happy Birthday Katie

Your sweet soul is terribly missed on this day and everyday. The new world our friendship created lives and thrives in me and I'm eternally grateful for the time we had together. You continue to inspire and influence me with your kindness, patience and compassion. I love you dearly.
