Pete, Ryan and Whitney - There are no words to express how deeply sorry we are for the loss of your sweet Courtney. Courtney was a beautiful, happy, kind, funny, caring, compassionate young lady who had a great laugh that was very contagious. I was so blessed to be her aunt! She will be missed by all who loved her and it's obvious that is many! She is now with Joan and other family....what a great reunion for them! Keep prayerful and God will help you through. Your family has got you, we love you and we are here for you always!
Love Diane, Charlie and family!

Courtney you and Whitney always called me "Aunt Ponnie" and I always saw you as my nieces. You were my baby girl. I am so thankful that you and Sparky had so many good times together.
I ask that God give our family the strength that we will all need in our time of hurt and pain. Pete my love and prayers are with you, Ellie, Ryan, Whitney & Keith and our entire family.

It’s true that Courtney/Whitney have plenty of Aunts, but I love how they have always acknowledged me as another Aunt.
My favorite memory of Courtney is when Courtney and Brandon were only four years old. He and I were visiting Joan and the kids, Pete was out of town. At one point when Joan went to check on the kids, she found both Courtney and Brandon in the bathroom. She was on the toilet and he was peeing in the ‘tub’, just talking away. “We both had to go” 🥰.
Love you so very much Pete, Ryan, and Whitney!!

Dear Pete, Ryan, and Whitney,
I am incredibly grateful for all of the wonderful memories I’ve had with Court and you all. Growing up you were my second family. Court was my very best friend. I feel lucky to have been a part of her life. Every memory is a treasure that I will hold onto always. I am thinking and praying for you all nonstop.
I love you all,
AJ

Pete, Ryan, Whitney and all who love Courtney, when we lose someone who we love so deeply it takes the wind out of us. Our hearts will never heal completely but it will still beat and we will go on, and believe that we are a better person having had Courtney in our lives. Its been an honor knowing your family over the years and watching our children grow to be such caring, loving adults. I remember when my Mother would come up for the summers and Courtney, Whitney and Cassie would play all day, mother loved cooking for them and she loved it when they called her Grandma. You and the family are in our prayers and remember Courtney will always be with you. God Bless

Hinsons,
I am so sorry for the sudden loss of Courtney. To know her was to love her and she will be missed by so many. Her smile was contagious and her positivity radiated to all who had the pleasure to be around her. I remember all the ball games and all the summers spent up at the pool with the rest of the neighbor kids and just laughing and having the time of our lives!
My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family and hope you find peace in knowing she’s with her mom now.

We are deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Courtney. Pete and Whitney and Ryan--my kids grew up with you guys and the fondest memory I have about Courtney was her laugh and kind disposition. She had such a sweet, kind spirit and always demonstrated kindness and patience with our daughter, Suzanne, (who has Down syndrome).
We now have two angels to watch over us--Joan and now Courtney. We prayed to our loved ones in heaven to be there to greet Courtney (along with Joan) to show her the "heavenly way" and we know they were there for her.
May God be with you and Bless you during this extraordinarily difficult time. We are sending you prayers, love and hugs.
We love you dearly, Linda, Barry, Sean & Suzanne

I can’t imagine your pain. The love you shared in your family was magical and admired by all of your cousins. If I could do something or say something to help, I would.
Your mom and I had fun times as kids and I so admired her beauty and love for her family. I was jealous when she had baby girls and you both reminded me of her.
After Covid and I’m stronger I promise to visit. Until then just know I’m sending love to you and your family during this very very tough time.

Courtney made my time at Target a joy. She was always there to help with anything she could and I enjoyed making her different drink combos at Starbucks. I always wanted to impress her with what I could make for her. Her smile always made my day better. I truly loved her and will miss her greatly!!

Hinsons,
I don’t even have the words. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I know that she is in your mama’s arms right now. Almost every single childhood memory of mine includes Courtney and Whitney. She had the kindest most genuine soul and truly made this world a brighter place. I will be praying for you all and I love you!

I am saddened by this news. My thoughts and prayers are with you. While the years have passed and connections distanced I still have vivid memories of my high school and college years hanging out with my fun pal Courtney. Her laugh was one of a kind and her sense of humor was like none other. She was such a great friend and person. Always there when you needed her. She will be so missed.

We first met Courtney when she was on our daughter’s 10U softball team . I so remember her positive attitude, her batting clean up and (I believe) playing third base. She had a beautiful smile. She and our daughter continued to play sports together. Both graduated from Olathe North High School. We also had the pleasure of knowing her wonderful family. We are so sorry for your loss.
With Our Sympathy,
Debra and Steven Mitchell
