Katelen, I'm so proud of you. You are an inspiration to me and every young girl out there! You're so beautiful and talented in many ways. Your voice and smile can light up a room. You have a kindness about you that linger on for life. You can get all sweaty and mean while you dominate the volleyball court. You have a love for animals as you strive to become a Veterinarian. Your family, friends, and boyfriend are lucky to have you in their lives. I love you Katelen and I'm so glad we are sisters! Good luck Saturday as you play your last home game!!
