I was thinking about Caitlyn today. We were best friends over 10 years ago during our freshman year at Depaul. She and I lived downtown at the University Club and she was in the dorm across from me. Her dry wit, sarcasm, contagious smile, and desire experience whatever life had to offer made us fast friends. We ate lunch together nearly every day, went to parties, watched Dexter in the lounge, and had countless sleepovers. I spent more time with her that year than any other person. To this day, I still tell people the story about how I was best friends with someone whose first cousin was Patrick Stump. To be honest, getting to know her was an unforgettable and incredible part of my life. We made fond memories that will last a lifetime and I will miss Caitlin dearly. Reading old messages and posts from her still brings a smile to my face

I am picturing Caitlin dancing on the clouds, until we can join her again! Her laugh, her smile, her willingness to go with it and her love of Cody - that is what I remember. So glad to have shared time with Caitlin and Cody.

So I don't have any photos of Caitlin and I because it dates back when we were in elementary school when all we had were Polaroids and so they're in a box somewhere in my attic. Caitlin, you were one of the kindest people I knew growing up and definitely one of the favorite member of our brownie troop. It meant a lot to know someone like you at that age and made such an impact on me as a kid who felt like an outsider at school. I still remember those playdates at your house. You are such a lovely soul 💛 Rest easy

Caitlin was one of my closest friends in high school. I have so many wonderful memories of her, it's hard to put into words how much she meant to me. I remember meeting her in freshman biology, and how we ended up having Spanish class together all 4 years. We used to have movie nights almost every Friday night with Agnes and Sarah, and Cait always picked these obscure horror films that turned out to be amazing. I remember trying to get her to let me call her a nickname for 4 years, and finally just calling her Kit Kat (even though she hated it). She was so talented and gifted at so many things, she was always our Spanish teacher's favorite student, and he praised her accent and ability almost daily. I remember when we went to Spain with our Spanish class and roomed together, and laughing about the most ridiculous things, like the chaperone from Traverse City, Michigan who wouldn't stop talking about her cherries and how our guide's wife over-pronounced "bocadillos." When she decided to spend time in the Dominican Republic during our first year of college, I remember thinking she was fearless. When I found out she and I had both joined Phi Mu, I was so happy to have another connection to each other. After all she went through in high school, she could have been such a different person, but she handled everything with the maturity of someone much older. The first thing I remember thinking when I met her the first day of freshman year was how cool and sophisticated she seemed, and the more I got to know her the more I realized my first impression was spot on. I feel so lucky to have traveled together, to have laughed together, to have shared pizza and tapas and jet lag and weird soup at Heathrow. I had no idea she was sick, but it doesn't surprise me that she was strong and tough until the end. She was an amazing person and my life is infinitely better for knowing her.
