Tomorrow we'll gather not to mourn, but to celebrate the life of Cate...There is a poem that begins with "Every person has a reason"....and all of us knows what her reason for being here was. Cate loved life and taught everyone around her how to live,regardless of the obstacles in the way.We experienced all the emotions, pain, anger, happiness, friendship, joy, extreme sadness, tears.... hope and even laughter.... after all hope was gone.But most of all to love unconditionally. Cait has completed her mission here and her legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of all her family and friends.We love you Cate......

Mr. B. and Family, Caitlin brought all of us at WTHS much joy all these years. Whether it was a "Hey Mr. Ray" with a big hug, of course in the hallway or a visit in Mrs. Costello's classroom, Caitlin was always laughing and talking about N'Sync, Disney, and her Daddy. A picture of Caitlin, Bud Yahnke and me, taken 6 or 7 years ago, still hangs on my bulletin board in my classroom. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time. Caitlin will be truly missed by all of us in the WTHS family.
