I'm not religious but trust God's plan for Ms. Steinle in place.
Her pain over, I only hope the same God that took her to his side, will provide her loved ones strength to cope with a pain inconceivable. Sincerest peace wished to them, & to her.

My precious child you were here for such a short time and did you very best while you were here. I know that you are with the angels now and that God needed you more than we did.
I known that it is hard for your loved ones to lose you but take comfort that she in not alone in heaven, not only is she with family and friends but also with every pet she ever had and now they can tell her how much they love her. The Lord bless and keep you......in Jesus name....

To the family and friends of Kathryn Steinle,
It is with sadness and a heavy heart that I saw the news of Kate's death. When I listened to Brad speak of the beauty and love of his dear sister, I felt my heart breaking for him and their parents. Words are so inadequate so I will offer prayers for the Steinle family and friends. May the Lord comfort and heal your souls. The world has lost a beautiful woman but heaven has gained her eternal soul. I will pray for you at the Eucharistic Adoration Chapel at my home parish of St. John Bosco, Parma Heights, Ohio.
Kate is in the presence of the Lord forever and you WILL see her again.

When I saw the news story that Kathryn's life had been senselessly stolen, I said out loud, "Oh no, Poor baby! She's so young, had her whole life in front of her." Then the story unfolded in the following days and we learned she is part of the Cal Poly family. Mustangs everywhere mourn her loss. Wishing you happy, loving memories to give you comfort.
