Memorial website in the memory of your loved one


Kristen Amanda Teran (KAT) joined us on earth for too brief a time. She was born on a crystal clear, star-filled cold night December 12, 1982. She brought such joy to all of us. At 23-years-old, Kristen left us on a sorrowful day December 28, 2005. She is in our hearts forever. We love you, beautiful one!


Do not stand at my grave and weep:

I am not there.
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond's gilt on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds
In circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there.
I did not die.

The way you did today,
While thinking of the ma...  Continue >>
A Sort of Quietness   / Donna Loughridge (Mother)
If you've been up all night and cried until there seems to be no more tears left in you — you will know that there comes in the end a sort of quietness. You feel as if nothing is ever going to happen again. —C.S. Lewis
Always Remember   / Jennifer Teran (Sister)
Please paint a colorful rainbow in the sky so I know you are here and are watching over me. And make my daisies bloom this Spring so I know that life can go on without you here. Unleash the tears from the dark clouds above so I know you regret turnin...  Continue >>
If I Knew   / Donna Loughridge (Mother)
If I knew it would be the last time That I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call yo...  Continue >>
