Jeffrey, Karol and Joel Aylor,

Katie's loving parents and brother ,

Welcome you to the Katie Aylor Memorial web site!

   Our daughter and sister, Katie Marie Aylor, died tragically at 5:20 PM on August 27, 2002 in an automobile accident on Oregonia Road in Lebanon, Ohio.  She was only 16 years, 6 months and 26 days old.  Her friend, Brandi Cook, was driving and also killed instantly.

  Although Katie left this life on August 27, 2002, we can and will keep her vibrantly alive with us in our hearts and thoughts.  We love and miss her now and forever.

We built and maintain this web site for our family, Katie's friends and for those not fortunate enough to have met her in this life.  We hope this is a beautiful, living and interactive memorial to Katie that allows us to experience her life at any time and from anywhere we may be in the world.

Our page on Life After Death, provides valuable resources for each of us as we learn healthy ways to live again. We highlight her love for life with pictures in Katie's Photos.  We keep the music she loved so much alive through Katie's Music.  We keep our thoughts and memories of Katie alive and share them with each other as we communicate and interact in Katie's Memories. We share with each other words of grace and comfort through Katie's Poem page.  We share Katie's creative side and her artistic inspiration for others with her Art page.  We share with you the many different places and ways Katie's family and friends are keeping her memory with us through her Memorials page. We show our appreciation for the City of Lebanon's kindness in renaming the Turtlecreek Nature Reserve and Walking Trail to the Katie Aylor and Brandi Cook Nature Reserve and Walking Trail with directions and beautiful pictures on the Nature Trail page. We look to the heavens and share Katie's eternal life and light with you through her newly named Katie Marie Star. We help Katie continue her efforts at helping and serving others through her Katie Aylor Memorial Scholarship. You help us make this web site alive and vital, just like Katie, by providing your comments and suggestions through Site Feedback.

I Believe

Every now and then

soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And it’s like you haven’t been

Gone a moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me
And with all my heart I’m sure

We’re closer than we ever were
I don’t have to hear or see,

I’ve got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, I believe
 

Chorus
That when you die your life goes on
It doesn’t end here when you’re gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends and if I’m right
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe, I believe

 

Forever, you’re a part of me
Forever, in the heart of me
And I’ll hold you even longer if I can
The people who don’t see the most
Say that I believe in ghosts
And if that makes me crazy, then I am
‘Cause I believe

There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, I believe
 

Thank you for visiting, please provide your feedback, and enjoy your time with Katie!
