Kaitlyn was a fiery soul with a heart of gold. She loved her family and friends like no other. If you were one of her people, there was no doubt, she would stand beside you through anything. Kaitlyn always knew exactly what she wanted and how she wanted it done. The fierceness and fight she had in her was like no other. Kaitlyn loved to give to others. She loved to shop for herself but always came home with something for her momma too, even if it was a simple piece of chocolate. She had a special love for life and took every opportunity she could for any adventure that came along. Long rides through the woods, bonfires and friends were what she enjoyed the most. She loved all animals more than she even like most people. There was never an in between with Kaitlyn. She was herself to the core always. She spoke her mind, never a question about how she felt. She was the most genuine, loving hard-core, hard working, determined softy that anyone could have ever been blessed to have known. Her smile, outgoing, spontaneous, clumsy, quirky ways would make any dark cloud disappear in an instant. She will always be missed and we will never be the same without her. All who loved her will forever have a Kaitlyn sized hole in their hearts. Her personality and bright light is going to be a very big space that will never be filled again. Rest your heart and soul Smoochie. We love you oodles most! See you soon baby girl.
