Dear John, Paulette, Stephan and Jacqueline:

It is with deep sadness and grief that I write these words to you.
Katarina was a beautiful girl with a smile that remained with me long after I met her.

I will always remember bouncing her in the backyard in Maine in the summer of 2006, and how beautiful, sweet, and friendly she was.

My church prayer team and I will both be praying for you all regularly.

Know that you are loved, and that we are here to listen, support or help you.

Though I can never know the agaony and loss you feel, may God hold you in His loving arms to comfort you, and bring smiles to your faces at the giofut that Katarina was to us all.

Love,
Donna Noonan
