For All The Little Reasons - Lufkin

We are heartbroken at the loss of our dear friend Kinlee Owens.

Kinlee bravely and fiercely battled DIPG- an aggressive form of pediatric brain cancer, for 15 months, despite being given an expectancy of 3 months. Kinlee surpassed all medical and therapeutic odds day in and day out. She showed us true tenacity and strength in her therapy sessions. We were honored and blessed by the time sweet, spunky Kinlee spent at For All The Little Reasons.

Nikki Owens, Thank you for sharing your Kinlee with us and entrusting our team with her care. We are proud to have been able to play a small part in Kinlees journey.

Please pray for Kinlees family and friends as her loss leaves an immense void. 🩷🎗️🙏🏼

We ask that you join us in prayer for this precious family.

It is with the heaviest hearts that we share that our beautiful girl, Kinlee Karter, our Stink, WON her fight against DIPG, and ran into the arms of Jesus at 11:21pm on March 10, 2026.

After fighting so bravely for 15 months, Kinlee is finally free from the pain and suffering caused by DIPG. She has been made whole, and is the healed version of the girl we all came to know and love. She was surrounded by love and held close by her family as she peacefully went home to Heaven.

Kinlee was a light in this world — funny, sweet, strong, and full of personality. She touched the lives of so many people, and the love, prayers, and support shown to our family throughout her journey has meant more than we could ever express.

While our hearts are completely broken, we find comfort in knowing she is whole again, free, and resting in the arms of Jesus. That she closed her eyes here, and opened them in Heaven hearing the words “Well done, Stink”.

We may never fully understand “WHY HER”, but honestly, who better than to spread love, light, and the love of Jesus than our sweet girl? She loved him with her WHOLE heart, and it radiated from her.

She was given an assignment, and was able to accomplish it in just 10 short years. The void left behind would be impossible to fill because, even though she was tiny, she was larger than life. Ten years doesn’t feel like enough, but the amount of love and happiness she brought in that time is immeasurable.

Thank you for loving our girl, praying for her, and walking beside us through this unimaginable journey.
Please continue to keep our family in your prayers as we navigate the days ahead. Moving forward won’t be easy, but we know she is with us.
Forever Kinlee Karter. Forever our princess. Forever our Stink.

Motor Monday!!!

This is a fun way to use our visual motor and sequencing skills to work on name recognition!

We start by matching the letters to a visual example. Once he masters that step, he will use the pieces to spell his name with no example provided. He also has a little help with a visual cue at the top of his name. If the letters are in order, the snake will be correctly placed as well! 🐍

The smallest details can make learning so much fun! 💚
