We are walking in memory of Katherine Cross, the daughter of Diana Cross, the General Manager of ParkWest Staffing.  Katherine was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer in 2003 at the age of 10 months.  She was such a little fighter but finally passed away at the age of two years old.    

Katherine was a special little girl from the moment she was born.  We noticed her amazing smile after she was just a few weeks old.  She started talking very early and remained a little chatter box until her last week of life.  Katherine's favorite thing to do was to play with her big brother.  She would do anything he wanted to do.  One of my favorite memories is of Katherine and Nathaniel having a light saber fight in our kitchen.  Katherine could not walk due to the tumor location.  However, she scooted around on her bottom trying to whack her brothers light saber.  She never let anything slow her down.  She took whatever happened in life and made the best of it.  We could all learn a few things about living from her example.  Unfortunately, we found out Katherine had a pontine glioma in July, 2003.  Diana and her husband Collin took her to several hospitals and researched options.  However, after 3 months of chemotherapy and conformal radiation, Katherine died on July 15, 2004.  The entire family misses their "little bee".  This is short for princess bee.  This named just seemed to fit her.
