Katie Walker
Died 27th March 2007
Aged 20 Years
Occupation Full time Student
Lived in Bridlington
Was the only daughter of Micky & Julie
Died after a long 15 month battle against a rare form of cancer
Katie born on 29th September 1986 a normal healthy baby to proud parents Julie and Micky. However at 6 months Katie and her family were faced with the daunting news of a terratoma diagnosis. Surgery on this occasion was the only option, with an 8 hour operation leaving poor Katie fighting for her life in intensive care. If this wasnβt enough of a battle at such a young age the cancer returned shortly after her third birthday. The news at this time was bleak with certain doctors saying recovery was extremely rare. Katie being the fighter she was endured 6 months chemotherapy followed by more surgery and yet again this brave courageous girl defied all odds to pull through. Katie went on to live a happy childhood and like all teenagers lived life to the full, successfully gaining 9 GCSEβs, 4 A Levels and starting university at Scarborough. However unfortunately shortly after turning 19 the cancer returned, with chemotherapy and radiotherapy being the course of action. A further 15 month battle was faced by Katie, with this unbelievable girl managing to maintain a smile and constantly putting other people first. The gruelling effects of the cancer and chemotherapy didnβt even prompt Katie to complain, if this wasnβt inspiration enough she proceeded through the pain to produce a video to help other teenage cancer sufferers (www.jimmyteenstv.com, Sheffield link). Devastatingly Katieβs brave battle was lost on 27th March 2007, leaving a large void in many peoples lives.
KATIE
You were beautiful inside and out
Your thought's were for others that was never in doubt
You were beautiful, vibrant, bubbly and kind
No better person could we ever find
To be in your presence was always a pleasure
The love that surrounded you, you couldn't measure
We'll never forget you and words cannot say
How much we will miss you every minute, every day
***************************
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
and whispered "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
we watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
You were our Princess, our Angel
Love you always sweetheart

Hello Katie,
Just wanted to write to you and let you know that your still being remembered. I know you can probably see what we are all up to so you know that I am in Australia. I have my black band with me and I have told plenty of people what it is about so everyone knows how brave and special you were to so many people. Me and Helen spent a few nights camping out in the outback with nothing but the stars as our roof. Its unbelievable how clear they are and every night we both looked for the brightest star shining down on us and knew you were keeping an eye on us. You are a star to so many people, keep shining on every body who loves you. Miss You. Take care.xxx
Remembering You Princess
Hi Princess
We have just had a weekend remembering you. First we went to see Jimmy Carr, he wasn't as good as when we saw him with you, but don't know if thats because you wasnt there. Then we saw the Blue Man Group, they were good and we are sure you were with us all night. We miss you so much and wanted a weekend that was all about what you liked doing. Your never away from us always in our hearts and thoughts we just wish you could have been here in person this weekend as you would have made it something special.
All we would like is for a cuddle and a chat with you, we miss the chats that both of us had with you and the cuddles that we had. Love you so so much and miss you more that words can say. All our love sweetheart now and always xxx Mum & Dad xxxxxx
