wow-- that would be amazing. i
wonder if we'd have trouble finding a site for it though. -- lisa

Just
looked on the Roswell site and Cottonwood seems to be the tree of choice
out there. I have inquired to
the Roswell COC as to how we go about doing some thing out there like
that. Michael On

Just one thought regarding the tree.
If the tree would be planted in Roswell we need to get some
guidance as to what type would grow there. We just returned from a trip to
El Paso, TX in which we saw many Italian Cypress trees which are an
evergreen. >> >>

First
and foremost, Mitch, just read about Katie.
As we Quakers say "We'll hold your family in the light"

Dear
Mitch, As
young as she was, Katie touched a lot of lives, some who never even met
her. Those people were made
better by that brief exposure. I
know you are a great dad because she was such a great kid. The
world is a better place because Katie was in it, even if for only a brief
time. That was her
contribution in life and you can be proud of it for giving her life. My
sincerest condolences, Steve
Kanda, fellow newbug lister |

Just
wanted to report in that Judy and I received our Katie stickers today in
the mail. Sure made a Monday
after a long weekend worthwhile. For
those that are waiting to get theirs, or haven't ordered one, David did an
excellent job on the stickers. Rolland,

David
Allen Thanks
for the quick response on the sticker. It looks great! I will put it on

window lower right. Bob |

just read about your beloved Katie. Please

Katie From: "Craig Kettles" <craig@lakerabun.com> |

Mitch, I
was so touched by the love that so many people have for Katie.
Although I only met her the one time at Regina's party, I believe
that all was said about her was very accurate -- she was an angel.
I know that you are proud of the young woman she became as well you
should be. You should also be
proud of yourself for making time for her -- that is the best you could
have ever given her and I am sure she is eternally grateful for it. Now
that Katie is being taken care of, I know she would want you to take care
of yourself. You have
experienced the greatest loss that a person can feel.
Your pain must run deep and it will always be there.
Katie loves you and is glad that you miss her, but she wants you to
heal and rebuild your life. It
will be hard to want to take care of yourself, but you must do it for
Katie, otherwise she will be too sad.
When
you have the energy, I encourage you to seek out therapy and support
groups of other parents that have lost their child.
It is something that no one can go through alone. Please call or
e-mail if there is anything that I can do for you. I am so sorry for your loss.
All that I can do is to help Katie by encouraging you to not give
up on life. I know that is
what she wants, even though it will be a difficult struggle for you.
Rebuild your life for Katie. Continue
to honor her and love her by seeking comfort and peace both in the great
memories that you have and in the help of counselors and other parents
that have suffered a similar loss. You
can't do this alone. Your
friend, Craig |

Katie From: "wendy j" <wendyj@nisa.net> |

Mitch: I
just heard about what happened to Katie.
Bill Chow emailed me when I asked him if you were still on the
list. I just wanted to send
my thoughts of condolence. Katie
lived a lively fun and happy life with parents she adored---I could tell
that by meeting her just for the brief time we spent in Victoria British
Columbia, Canada. Remember
when I drove up to meet you while you were doing laundry and Katie was
having a massage? Mitch,
I hope her death won't mean that you will stop being the fun loving person
Katie loved so much. This
is so tragic. I will keep you
and your family in prayer as I pray for my own.
I know God loves Katie so much more than we can even imagine and I
hope the Lord can be a source
of comfort to your family during this black time. God
bless you, Wendy

Angel sticker.
From: Arthur van Mourik <AvanMourik@Essilor.NL> |
|
Wow,
looks like even the postal service is running extra fast to get the Angel
sticker to the other side of the pool, it was not even a week ago that I
asked you David for a sticker and I already have it over here in the
Netherlands. Thank you David for the nice service. This
will be the first sticker on all the cars I had, even the required country
sticker I always remove of my cars but the Angel sticker is more than
welcome on the rear window of my black Beetle. It
must be nice for Katie when she's over Europe that she sees someone of her
"family". Aufwiedersehen, Arthur
van Mourik. |

I have six girl Angels and one boy Angel, I can't imagine what it would be
like to have one of mine leave temporarily as yours did. I do know you
have to love them any and every way you can as often as you can. The spark
that you have left in your aching heart will IGNITE to all it's brilliance
when you return to your Angels waiting arms. Cherish the memories your
Angel bestowed upon you. She is remembered in my prayers.
Regards
Pam (My Angel #2's) Dad |

Off Topic - please respond off list
From:
Michael Levine <txmrlevine@excite.com> |

txmrlevine@excite.com
would be who to respond to. I
have talked to Roswell, NM Parks and Recreation and we can actually do
something for Katie in Roswell. We
all know that Katie would have wanted to be there. And we all know she
will be with us in our hearts. There
is a donation required to do this and let me see how many people respond
to this e-mail before I tell everyone how much it might be per person. I
really wanted it to be a surprise for Mitch but it would have taken me
some time to put a list of people together and I would not want to exclude
anyone who wants to participate. If
anyone wants more info please e-mail off the list. That way I can keep the
participants anonymous. And what we are actually doing will still be
anonymous to Mitch. Michael

I
know it's a hard time for you, but me and all the Newcastle, UK New and
Old Beetle owners. I'm only
16, so I know how it must be so terrible that she's only just learnt to
drive and then that happened. My
best wishes are with you and your family Andrew

Folks
below is an e-mail I sent to Mitch because he wanted to participate in
what I was concocting for R2K. I
felt it only fair to tell him what was up.
Like many folks had expressed I didn't want to make that weekend
about Katie but wanted to share the R2K experience w/her. Anyway
read the e-mail as to what is going on.
Currently I have more that 35 participants which makes the donation
a nominal 10 bucks or so. Depending on what we finally decide to do and if
I get more responses. If
you guys think it's a good Idea and still want to participate I'll get
more info finalized in the coming weeks and getting back to you. -----
Original Message ----- To:
mitch@perrysys.com Well
Actually I wanted to have it be a gift from the list to you in her memory.
David Allen had told me you might have heard of other things people
wanted to do at R2K and he said I might want to drop you a line before it
gets a little overdone. You
are more than welcome to participate.
I have spoke with the Roswell Parks and Recreation and they told me
of a donation I could make to erect a park bench in Katie's memory.
I have since wrote back to see if we could have it erected at the
convention center. Haven't
heard back yet. We
can also buy a plaque ourselves and they will mount it for us. You
know before everyone all these details.
David had mentioned there are no picnic tables out there.
Maybe if I get enough participants I can get something like that
done. I
just want it to be something Katie would appreciate. Michael On
