Kaytie was an amazing young woman, a great daughter, the best sister in the world, a fabulous fiance, and a best friend to so many! She didn't waste the time she was given and loved and lived more than most people do in 80 years! At Kaytie's Celebration of Life we passed out programs. These were not your typical program, on the back we challenged everyone to Live Like Kaytie! We now want to challenge you. Here is what we wrote:
"We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It's an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us." Hebrews 6:19, The Message
In remembrance and celebration of Kaytie's life, we invite you in this year to please consider the following:
1. Complete 27 Acts of Kindness, representing each year of Kaytie's life, and then post them on Facebook or send them to us, so that we can celebrate the ways that the world continues to be positively impacted in honor of Kaytie
2. Kaytie placed her relationship with Jesus Christ first, above all other relationships. We encourage you to read the Bible all the way through this year, since this became one of Kaytie's passions, and cultivate your relationship with Jesus Christ.
