Katelynn Faith's Funeral

My sister and I flew to Utah this weekend for my nieces funeral. It was my first time flying (yes ever), and I think I did pretty good. I sat at the window seat and tried to take in all the views. Taking off and landing was not all that fun, but I did it, and now I can say I've flown.

Katelynn Faith Greene was born on April 1st 2009 to my brother Nathan and his wife Leta. They have two children, Nathaniel and Alisa. Katelynn had issues with her Heart and Kidney's, and she was very prone to infections. Katelynn put up a real hard fight, but on May 24th 2009 her parents decided to take her off the ventilator because her organ malfunctions were not compatible with life. It was the compassionate thing to do as her parents. She just couldn't take anymore, and with the help of a ventilator she lived 54 beautiful days with her Mom, Dad, brother and sister. I am so glad I had the chance to go and see her and say goodbye. Thanks for coming with me Ta.
