My Story

Ebony Jaide Katona was born on October 31, 1990 and sadly left us on March 2, 2010 at the age of 19.

Our beautiful, intelligent & humorous friend took her own life March 2, 2010. She suffered from mental illness, PTSD, depression & couldn't cope in life. She had everything to live for: family & friends who loved her dearly, beauty, talent, intelligience and a bright future ahead. Her mental illness wouldn't allow her to live a normal life & cope with daily activities. We are all grieving & missing her wonderful personality. We tried everything possible to heal her mind, but it wasn't enough. She will always be in our hearts & memories.

Ebony. My daughter. My first-born. My best friend.. I thank God for every day I shared with you. Your love was and is unconditional, selfless, and passionate. You always put others first and allowed them to experience the kind of love most people only dream about. You made the bad times better, whether with a smile, a joke, or a hug that took the weight of the world away. In the short time God gave you to me, you made me complete with your love.

I truly believed that I could love your pain away. I worked so hard to find a cure for your problems, but I guess you believed it couldn’t be found on this Earth. I know that God has now taken your depression, sadness, and frustration completely away. I believe that you are finally free from all of your Earthly torments and you no longer feel any pain. This is my only peace.

I will never know love and laughter like I did with you. It's hard to articulate how much I love you and how much I would have continued to do to keep you with us. One day, I will be with you again, and we will be together forever.

I am so glad we were blessed with 19 years of wonderful you rather than a lifetime of nothing special.

I will forever appreciate all the love and support I received from family and friends during this extremely difficult time. Take solace in knowing that Ebony has attained eternal peace.

Ebony, I miss you so much, and as hard as it is to accept right now, I know you made your decision out of love, and I forgive you.
I love you forever & always.
My precious baby.
Love, Momma

Our beautiful friend Ebby, it was very hard for us to understand your inner feelings of not being happy. We’re so sorry we couldn't do more to ease your pain.

We will always have a hole in our heart, but beautiful memories of you, and your full life. From the crazy weekends, the ranchhouse, roadtrips to nowhere, vacations in Ibiza, to the simple things like watching the Cowboys play. Most of all, we valued the years we were gifted with your friendship. You lived a fun loving, adventurous life, you were beautiful, talented, had an undeniable wit and a great sense of humor. You did have it all, except peace of mind.
We will always love & cherish you and will be with you someday.
You were here for a moment, and then you were gone.
Until we meet again.
Save us a seat.
Your ever-loving friends.

Our loss is Heaven's gain. Asleep in the arms of Jesus, in the eternal peace you couldn't find in this world.
