Kaitlin always made it comfortable to be yourself. She lit up every room she walked into. I have so many videos of her cracking me up – she didn’t have to try hard. She always made sure the people around her were happy. I love her and miss her so much. She will be truly missed ??

My sincerest condolences. Kaitlin was a very kind person with a good soul. I remember having theater homeroom with her in high school and she really got us through it with her personality and wit. I remember having to do a project with her as well in that class and it was a lot of fun. We didn’t stay in touch, but seeing her posts on Facebook every now and then was always very nice. May she rest in peace
