Kathryn Belle “Katie” Long, age 17, born in Montgomery, AL and a resident of Baker, FL died Sunday, October 15, 2017 in Stockton. Katie was born with Miller-Dieker Syndrome and was special needs. She was not expected to live to the age of two but exceeded any and all doctors' expectations. Her sassiness and fiestiness was unstoppable. She had a special light inside of her that radiated to all that came in contact with her. If there ever was a princess, Katie Belle was it. If there ever was an angel on Earth, she was that too.
Although she never spoke with words she taught people plenty--faith, stamina, resilience, oomph and sheer will. Her memory will be eternal and her fighting spirit will live on forever. Fly high, our sweet girl and through your spirit we will all strive to be our best selves.
