I remember the first time I met Katie, she was in my 6th period class with Mr. Goodfellow. I complimented her outfit, she looked super beautiful that day, and with a big beautiful smile on her face she said thank you, and complimented me back and from that day on our friendship began to grow. Katie was such a wonderful, loving friend and I am so thankful that I got to spend time with such an amazing person. I remember us going to lunch together here and there and us just talking about boys and school and what we wanted to do when we grew up, katie always had goals and she has always been there for me when I needed her. As finals began to come up, I would have stressful days but katie always put other people first and she checked up on me mulitple times just to make sure I was okay. To this day, I can still hear her laugh when her and I would text literally right next to eachother about this boy we thought was so random. We would look up at eachother and start smiling because our texts were just too funny. I'm a year older than Katie, and ive always stuggled in math but i will never forget the days where she would just sit down with me in class instead of doing her own homework and helping me instead because I just didn't get it. She was the most loving person I have ever met, and she will be in my heart forever. Katie was a friend to everyone, every single time she would leave class to always walk her friend molly from 6th to 7th period, katie would shout "Bye Bri!!" and shout to every single kid left in the classroom goodbye. I remember somedays when katie would be absent from school and everybody always asked 'Where's katie?". You could tell people really cared about her not being at school, and now that she's in heaven, it honestly crushes me that it'll be a long time before I see her again. I can't even imagine how her family is doing right now and my condolences go out to each and everyone of them. I wish I could hear katie laugh one more time, hear her shout goodbye when leaving the classroom, and hug her just one more time. Time will heal itself but I will never forget how katie was such a thoughtful person. She meant the world to me. I love you angel, we'll meet again someday.
