Our dancing angel, Kaitlyn Mariah Adams, returned home to her Heavenly Father on April 12, 2010 at the age of 16 after a courageous 5 year battle with cancer. She was born in Salt Lake City on February 12, 1994 to Shane Adams and Carolyn Horne-Adams. Kaitlyn lived to dance and was a member of the Taylorsville High School Chirons drill team and served as its sophomore representative this past year. She fulfilled her dream this past March by performing a solo, one that she choreographed, at the National Competition in New York City. She received a 100% score for attitude and showmanship and a standing ovation. Kaitlyn was an inspiration to everyone who knew her. She always had a positive attitude and strong will.

This is just heartbreaking. I just cried after grandma called. I'm so sorry for your loss. We will see you on Friday.
I am so sorry Amy! I have been thinking about you and your family a lot. Love you!
OH AMY!!! What a beautiful girl. I'm so sorry. I didn't know her and I haven't seen you in forever. BUT when I heard on Face Book I wanted to find out what happened. I want to tell you that when I did finally figure it out it was late at night. Even though I didn't know her she touched my life. I realized how precious life is. You NEVER know what is going to happen and when. I do know that I wanted to cry. I went and hugged and loved on my babies. Of course they were asleep--but SHE has made me not take on second of my babies for grantied. I'm so sorry for your loss and can't imagine how your family is hurting right now. But thank you Kaitlyn for being a wonderful example to me and to you for sharing that with me.
Ha pasado mucho tiempo sin verte, y quiso estar contigo en tus ultimos momentos, pero yo se que te vas a hacer muchos grandes cosas en la vida venidera. Que Dios te bendiga! te quiero Kaity! - God Bless!
Hi Amy,
My son Jackson goes to T-ville High School. I have heard alot about Kaitlin. I am so sorry to hear about your loss and this devastation! Kaitlin is a true hero and has impacted so many! She is a true inspiration! After reading about her on Facebook and reading her obituary, I realized that I know you. I grew up in Levan. My maiden name is Mangelson. You are the age of my sister, Emilee. I just wanted you and your sweet family to know that I have been thinking of you so much and praying for you to be comforted at this time. I hope you can find peace and joy by remembering the pleasant times you spent together as a family. I am so very sorry for your loss!
With much sympathy-
Amy Mangelson Roper
