Katarina Marie Goitz

My name is Sarah Krug and I am a friend of Katarina's from Notre Dame. I joined the Big Sister/Little Sister program in Breen-Phillips Hall my senior year and was lucky enough to be paired with Katarina as my "little sister". As I got to know her over the course of the year, I discovered that she was one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I have ever met. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.

I had the pleasure of traveling with Katarina and her Aunt Darlene in 2007 to South Dakota. She impressed me immediately as a thoughtful and intelligent young lady. I was saddened to hear of her tragic passing but her light shined brightly in this world and she will not be forgotten by those whose lives she touched with her kindness. Mark Bradley Travel Writer

Hello, I am Carol S. Borne, grandmother of one of Katarina's confirmation class students with Holy Family Parish. From time to time, I would chat with Katarina regarding the classes and events for the students.

My sincere condolences to the Goitz and Armtrong families. Love to all.

I still can't believe she is gone. My heart and prayers go out to Katarina's Family. Thank you for sharing your Angel with us all, the world is a better place because she touched all of our lives.

Goitz Family, you are in our thoughts through this terrible time. We are so sorry for your loss.

Words can't explain how deeply sorry we are for the loss of your dear Katarina. Caity and I send our deepest sympathies. The Russell's

Katarina was such a kind and sweet soul who lived life with great exuberance and joy! She loved Irish step dancing and danced so beautifully for the Detroit St Patrick's Parade Mass. I served as a judge when Katarina competed to represent the Irish Community in the Court of St. Bridget. I remember I pinched myself in a vain effort to stop my tears when she talked so poignantly about the importance of faith in her life. That she chose to tell us about her love of God during this competition...
