Your hand is your best friend in this world....
God is going to have a good place for your beloved wife.
She is an inspiration and I feel moved to tears.
She was gone too soon, but may her memory live forever.
She was the epitome of beauty and courage.
Eternal repose to her soul.
I am a girl who's hurt deep inside! :( Remember Nick, your love is not gonna end from this life, it will continue for the next lives too because it is true love!
May she rest in peace! Amen...
Something borrowed, something blue, something old, something new,
But this something has ceremonially forever bonded these loving two,
God created male & female, boyfriend-girlfriend, so that’s it you think?
This wedded bliss of holy matrimony has a third party, an oxygen tank.
Okay, is this some kind of Vegas show, a magic act, what’s the trick?
Wish it was but it’s the sage of a terminally ill bride, Katie Kirkpatrick,
There was a fourth party in this wedding a cancer disastrously mean,
Pain, organs shutting down, Katie planned with the help of morphine.
Constant chemotherapy treatments, who is that always by her side?
Throughout it all no doubt tears flowed continuously from their eyes,
She’s 21, he’s 23, his name is Nick, they were sweethearts as kids,
Didn’t leave, didn’t blame, he supported her, yep, that’s what he did.
Lapeer County Sheriff’s Deputy Nick Godwin already took one oath,
And with his police duties no one would cite him for rocking the boat,
After all, he’s young, handsome & eligible, they both know the deal,
Several wedding dress alterations due to weight loss, this is for real.
Yet, there is one thing that drives everyone who wants to be a cop,
When they get on the trail of a suspect hell or high water can’t stop,
So, Nick was all over Katie’s modus operandi like Sherlock Holmes,
No way was he ever going to leave her to fight this criminal all-alone.
Yes! January 15, 2005, the bride-to-be whose smile was contagious,
Mr. Nick Godwin and Miss Katie Kirkpatrick soul mates for the ages,
Happily they tied the knot, this union of compassionate best friends,
Friends & family as one at Church of Christ in Hazel Park, Michigan.
Only five days later, McLaren Regional Medical Center, it was done,
Passed away, husband Nick said, “such an inspiration to everyone,”
Sweet as candy Katie, “most beautiful angel” left no one feeling blue,
Oh! Now I understand what is going on, God has a sweet tooth too.
