10 years now. This is the only place that i know of to leave any flowers for you. It seems like so long ago. Everything does, youth and innocence, and yet sometimes it seems like yesterday. If i could reach out and grab it again i would. I don’t know how to get ahold of your mom. i have tried with no luck. I have two beautiful children now and they are the light of my world. I have this picture that your mom sent me when i got married of you, it’s just small and i put it in my nightstand, but for some reason, my son takes it out all the time and puts it up on top of the nightstand. i will come in from school and there it will be. I have to laugh..and then cry. I still miss all the time. I can’t look at pictures of you without crying. but i know that even if given the chance you wouldn’t come back to this hateful world. How i love you Kat and always will. The time i had you and what you taught me about friendship i will always cherish and hold dear in my heart. May your smile light the heavens above. i love you B.F.F.A.A. Shel

Wow. I can’t believe it has been seven years. Where has the time gone. The time when we were so young and had nothing to worry about. I think about you often and of all these years of living life without you i have never found another best friend like you. You will remain in my heart for all times. I love you so. and miss you so. There will come a day when we will all be together again. When miles and time are no object. Until then make beautiful music in heaven. I love you. Shel

Kat, I’v been trying to sign your guestbook at the page mom made you but it is down. I’m married and have a little boy now. (I know you know that.) I still think about you all the time and look forward to the day when we will be together again. B.F.F.A.A!!!! Shel

We found your daughter’s web page because we have something in common! My 16 yr old daughter’s name is Kathleen Elizabeth Tedford. She was born in 1984 and still lives today! I am sorry for your loss. I do not know how I would cope if I lost my Kathleen. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Kathleen E. Tedford’s Mom (Brenda)

Dear Kat’s Mom,

When the French Poet Victor Hugo lost his beloved daugther, he wrote: “There is no worst torments, than surviving to your own children.”

I can feel your pain and I understand it very well. Be brave and strong, just like Kat would have needed you to be. You were there for her, now you may rest a little, she’s taking care of you. Just let her love reach you deeply in your heart.

Keep faith in the Reunion Day !
Friendly,
Jean-Mark

Kathy –
It’s so hard to believe it’s been a year since you left us. I think of you everyday and I miss you more than words can say. I think about all the times we had together and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to hold you for a time. Letting go of you has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my entire life and I’m not sure I ever will be able to truly let you go. You live in my heart and in my mind and I will always cherish and love you. I still wait for the day to see you again.

All my love forever,
Mom

For Kat’s mom, my heart broke for you when I saw your beautiful daughter. I have lost my beloved first born son, and the only thing I know, is losing a child is like a roller coaster we will ride forever, constantly up and down. You are in my prayers.

Kat,

I dropped by to see your monument that your mom and trey left you. It’s nice. Man I miss you and can’t wait to see you. I think about you every day and know that you watch over me. I guess what always bothered me is that I never got to tell you bye and that I loved you very much and always will. I know and have excepted now that nothing can or will bring you back to me and that I have to go on (I know that is what you’d want) the one thing that keeps me going is knowing that one day we’ll be together again for eternity. Untill then be brave. hey Love will find a way right (ha ha he he) Well there’s not much more to say. I love you very much no one will ever ever take your place. I promise. There will always be a special place in my heart for you and you alone.

With all my love always,

I was having a quiet moment Matthew and thought of you. I was wondering what you would have been like at 21years old, one thing I do know is that you would have been a son to be proud of as I’m so proud of your sister Anneka.

How sad to lose such a beautiful boy. I hope as time passes, the pain will ease somehow. I lost a brother to cancer, and as much as I miss him, I know he is now out of his pain. To me, in Heaven, we will be reunited with those we loved and lost. I hope it is so for you. Donna

Matthew, We think of you every day and know that you are free from pain and for that we’re grateful, but we miss you so much and wish you could still be here to share with us your laughter, your smiles and your love for life. Your courage inspired all who knew you and will continue to inspire others who have never had the chance to meet you. We love and miss you… Mum, Dad Anneka

Matthew,
We miss you every day and your smile lives on in our hearts and in our minds.

Just felt like writing a few words, just to really say I’m thinking of you tonight as the year 2000 is nearly ended. It’s been a lonely Christmas without you for all of us, I missed seeing you opening presents and wearing the latest goalie top that took your fancy. Anneka is growing up to be a real beauty and with a real attitude, your mum and I could do with you keeping her admirers at arms length. Hope your Grandad is keeping you sharp in goal ready for your dad to take some shots at you whenever that may be. You’ll always be in my thoughts mate, I miss you so much son.. (Dad)

Happy freedom day, beautiful Matthew.
Looks like my precious Taylor is coming your way sometime in the next few months. Would sure love for you to greet him with your wonderful smile, high fives and a footrace between the stars. You are missed, you are loved. And your parents, your sister, are a wonder, a miracle, a gift to all of us still in pain… With love and lifelong admiration…

I hope you have met with my darling Brianna. She joined you in Heaven Dec.30, 1999. The two of you should make quite a pair. Rest easy and peacefully. Your family was very lucky to have been chosen to host you while you were on this earth. Send strength and guidance to your loved ones.

What can I say that hasn’t been said before. Your Mother and I, and of course Anneka, are thinking of you today as it has been a whole year since we said goodbye to you. We will be remembering today your fit and healthy days when you didn’t have a care in the world and also the last 23 months of your life when you battled bravely against the cancer. We miss you so much.

22 January, 2000
Your Mum and I visited your memorial in Hendon this afternoon. It had been a while since I last went there although your mum has been regularly. I missed you more than ever today, hope your goalkeeping is still coming along wherever you are, I miss having you around especially our kickabouts in the garden and wish I appreciated those moments much more.

Grandpop,
It is so hard for me to realize that it will be a while before we see each other again. I miss you so much. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. I do thank God that I had you in my life longer then Grandmom, but it still doesn’t take the hurt I feel away. I still cry when I think of you. And I know that I shouldn’t, because I know that you are happy to be with Grandmom again and without pain. I just can’t help it. I am not dealing with your being so far away at all well. I love you and miss you so much. You truely mean so much to me and my family. I love you Grandpop.
Love,
Jane Marie
