Artwork of Love

This is a sampling of the many pieces of artwork we have received over the years in memory of Kate. They were drawn by her cousins and Kate's big sister Allie. The drawings are tucked away in a large scrapbook made in memory of Kate. I strongly encourage families to create a scrapbook of any and all momentos you may have of your baby. It helps validate the precious life of your baby and allows others to understand your loss a little more than they otherwise might. Drawings or sketches made in her memory or on her birthday that we still receive from cousins and sister Allie, mean so much to us. It reminds us of the love so many people feel for her and that she meant so much to so many....young and old. We treasure these gifts of beautiful artwork created out of pure love for Kate. Thank you cousins Samantha, Ashlyne, Kaitlyn, Artie and big sister Allie!
