It’s been 30 years since the car accident that took my youngest daughter’s life. (You can read about the accident HERE. )
Kathleen Alynne
Katie would be all grown up now, 36 years old! Even after all this time, the shock and pain of her loss is unbelievable. And really, there is no way to explain it. Somehow Mandy, Bob and I, managed to go on, and yet for the rest of our lives, there will always be a spot, a bright star, in our lives, that is missing.
We never got to see her grow up, fall in love, graduate from school, or hold her baby in her arms. She was robbed, and so were we.
This year, the thirtieth anniversary of her passing, I will try to be happy. Happy for those six and a half wonderful years that we all shared with her. After all, she was really an amazing and greatly loved little girl!

A sweet tribute to your daughter. Gail is a dear friend to me and I’m sure has been to you as well. I’m so sorry for your loss, yet thankful for God’s healing in your lives.
That was beautiful. I have thought of you, Bob,and Mandy so often over the years while we were away. I can’t even comprehend the agony of losing a child. You are blessed to have such great memories of Katie. She & Mandy are 2 lucky sisters to have had each other. My best to you all.
Very nice tribute to Kathleen. This really plucks at my heartstrings. So sad she was taken from us and we never got to see everything she would become. Thank you for sharing this. I never new about this website or this amazing slide show of your sweet Kathleen.
