    Dear Kathi,
    With regrets we wish were close to be with you at this time. So very sorry for the loss of Katie. Your mother, Mary Sue has kept us informed of Katie’s desires to go on to college with great expectations. Our Lord and Savior has His choice of ‘Angels’
    for His family. We never can comprehend what God has in store for the families. I have a picture of Katie, she was a pretty young lady. May your memories stay close to you in heart and remember when we all get to Heaven we too will see one another again. Our hope is in the Lord.
    You have our prayers and love, we care for you. Our love to you,

  3. Kathi,
    I am so sorry for your loss. Katie was a beautiful young lady, and I can’t imagine how hard this must be.
    I trust and pray that our Heavenly Father will comfort you and remind you of many wonderful times that you had together.
    II Cor. 1:3-4 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
    What a hope we have! May God hold you in His Everlasting Arms!
    Love,
    Donna

    I love them so much and I know you all are hurting. Keep the Lord your God with
    you. He will give you strength. We never know why and we do ask why but we
    know God has his reasons. Just can’t imagine the hurt and loss you feel.
    Please use each other in strength and love.
    God bless you all.
