Katie, you will be missed greatly. You left a void in our hearts when you left that can only be filled by the great memories of our time together.
Linden is devastated and she doesn't understand why you had to go.
She loves her auntie Katie and she sends prayers every night hoping you can hear her.
Thanks for being a wonderful sister in-law to me and always making Tabetha and I feel like one of the family.
Love Misty
