Katie was one of a kind. I knew her since middle school and could go years without seeing her but when we did, she was the same awesome girl that i had come to known. She will be missed. Bless her family. Her spirit will live on.

My heart goes out to Kate's mother, her brother Rob and the rest of her family. We met years ago and instantaneously became friends. It was like we were meant to cross each other's paths. We shared many adventures together and I won't forget any of them. I wish I could have been there for her more as I knew she needed support and strength, but I wasn't. RIP Kate. I hope you've found your peace.

I cannot express how sadden I am to hear this news. I have not seen Katie in many years but we were good friends as kids. We spent a lot of time together in the summers in Long Lake. I have a lot of fond memories of her & Jack. I will always remember her contagious giggle & great sense of humor. My heart goes out to Katie's family during this very difficult time.

It was 5 years ago when we started talking again and i wanna thank you. I send my love and condolences to your family and friends. Rip kate you'll be missed dearly

Filled with disbelief and shocked and numb losing to people in one week.. My tears never stop my head is filled with noise. I send condolences to the family and friends.. It pains me because when I was reaching out for support she messeged me and told me to call her and she wanted to help because she understood what I was going through and it breaks me to know this happened to two beautiful souls I have known in my life. I will miss Kate love you God bless you all and be safe life is a roller coaster and we all need support and love.. These days have been dark and lonely and confusing... Please if anyone needs to talk or reach out iam here... Stay strong RIP Kate you will be missed in this crazy world

I have known Katie since we were 11 years old. She was one of my best friends growing up. I will always remember her laugh. It was contagious. We had some great times together. Since she lost her father so young, I think she really became lost. I have always kept in touch with her after all of these years and always wanted the best for her. I was so happy to see her happy. I will honestly miss you so much Katie. May you finally rest.

Kate, you are missed so deeply. We are all saddened by your sudden death. Your experience will benefit others. You were so real and raw. That's what I loved the most. Thanks for the wonderful memories (and coffee). Mom, she loved you so much.
God bless you and your family.

I feel blessed for the many years me and Katie were best friends. There's things I remember about her most. Her devotion and love for her mother and brother, Rob. How she would always go to camp to get some solitude and how any thing that was going on she could make a joke out of. I can remember helping sign her up for school and the next thing you know she was on to SUNY Albany excelling beyond belief. It doesn't seem real to me that she is gone so soon. I know Kate was very dedicated to all she did. She wanted alot out of life and I believe the impact she made in her short time here touched many people. I will think about her whenever something reminds me of something she did or something we did together. I will think of her family throughout this very difficult time and hope that the passing days, the pain gets better.
