Nancy and I were privileged to have been present for the wonderful memorial service for Katie and to have been included in the family gatherings before and after. Now we will hold John and his kids in our hearts and thoughts as they put their lives back together and continue as Katie would have wanted.

Dear Homan family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I knew Kate from Kersey Creek. Leah and Gavin were in Miss Stoke's class together and Kate was always such a big help with class activities and always such a nice person. Our prayers are with your family.

Dear John & Family,

I'm so sorry for your loss; I will miss Kate so much. She was a fabulous person and I am so glad i got to call her a friend. I hope that she is with the angels and can look down over her babies and they will know. Please know what a special and kind person Kate was and how she will always be remembered for her unique and wonderful compassion for everyone she loved.

My thoughts and prayers have been with Kate and her family throughout her battles with cancer and remain with her family now. Kate was an inspiration to so many people with her unwavering faith and positive attitude while facing adversity. She was such a care giver, helping her children and family deal with her cancer, while remaining hopeful and focusing on the many people who exhibited kindness and compassion throughout her struggle. I pray that God will bestow upon each of you His peace and comfort now and always.
