‘LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME TO ME, AND DO NOT HINDER THEM; FOR THE KINGDOM BELONGS TO SUCH AS THESE.’ Matthew 19:14
KATELYNN MARIE REULE
November 11, 2003 ‘ December 24, 2005
The kingdom of heaven was brighter by one new angel when God called his child, Katelynn Marie Reule, home on Christmas Eve.
Although Katelynn was only 2, she touched hearts and lives wherever she went. Her warm smile and infectious giggle warmed all those around her, and strangers were just friends she hadn’t met. She was as bright as a new penny, curious, full of life and full of mischief. She loved, and she was loved, by everyone she knew.
She loved cats and dogs, and no computer or guitar could be left unattended, as she would poke keys on the keyboard and add gibberish to whatever was on the screen, or she’d strum the strings on her grandfather’s guitar. If she heard music, she would immediately start dancing. She never met a vegetable she didn’t like, and would help herself to cookies and chips if she could reach them, but she was happy to share.
Katelynn is survived by her parents, Tonya Shellenberger and Dave Reule of Sedro-Woolley, as well as two brothers, Benje Shellenberger and Bailey Taitano and a sister, Jewell Huse. Her grandparents, Ed & Laurel Shellenberger and Tim & Val Reule; great-grandparents, Carol Ann Cox, Audree Kajfas, Chet Shellenberger, George Williams and Charles Reule; aunts & uncles, Heidi & Gary Nestel and Becky & Dave Martin and cousins, Zoe Nestel and Collin, Ashton and Cayden Martin.
Farewell, dear Katelynn. We will miss you very much. Farewell, until we meet again in heaven.
"And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them." Mark 10:16
