Katelyn Louise Smith

Katie was a true sweet friend. I've missed her smile. And her crazy personality. Seminary isn't the same without her.
Even though we were just school friends, I've never been more grateful for an amazing person like Katie.

Katelyn (Katie) was a joy.

She would come into class with a face like the sun, giggly, happy.

We all miss her terribly. Please know that her class feels her loss like an anvil to the chest. We mourn her.

I reread Katelyn's introduction discussion on Wednesday; the prompt asks students to introduce themselves and a topic they would be interested in exploring. This was her response:

Dear James, Nannette and Family,

Richard just told me about the passing of your beautiful daughter. It made me so sad for all of you. I've never met Katelyn, but her obituary gave me a sense of what a fun, wonderful person she was. You have such a good family.

Nannette, you were so kind to supply the rolls for my uncle Blake's funeral. We appreciated your show of support at that time.

Please know that Brent and I are praying for all of you. We send our love...

Katie Smith was a kind, generous, and fun-loving girl with the biggest of hearts. I went to school with Katie, and though I did not know her super closely, she had a significant impact on my life, greater than most. I struggled a lot through high-school, and my senior year was especially rough. I became really bitter for awhile, and Katie was one of the only people who extended kindness and acceptance to me. I am so sorry for the loss everyone who knew Katie is now feeling and I offer...
