Katherine Patricia Bolka

Katy was very special! She helped us every year with the business conclave for Neiman Marcus - making gift bags and just doing anything that her Mother and I needed. A Beautiful girl with incredible charisma.
The tragic death overwhelmed everyone that knew her and her wonderful Mother - Johna.
God Bless You.

Katy was an incredible young woman! Her Mother Johna worked for the same company that I did and both of her daughters helped us with everything working with Neiman Marcus - she was so very special, hard working, kind and beautiful - Katy - please know how much you were loved by so many people and you will be remembered forever.

Katie - I wonder who you would have become in the 10 years since the accident - I know you would have been a force to reckon with. Your creativity inspires me. Your kindness and the beauty of how you lived your life still touches my heart.

Dear Katie -
Thank you so very much for all that you are and all that you did to help while your Mother and I ran around with Neiman Marcus. Your work, passion, and presence - so great!!
With all my Love

Katie, I could never forget you! You were always so funny and a beautiful person. The Ursuline memories could never be forgotten.

Remembering you today and always . Hard to imagine that it's been 9 years since your beautiful soul left us. Missing you. We will never forget.

I know it's been a long time and I never knew Katie well, but I just want to say that she has touched many more lives than people realize. I was a year behind her at CKS and Ursuline. Much love to family and friends, she is missed by so many people.

Happy Birthday dear Katie we Love you, miss you and will always remember the joy you brought to our lives.

Love always,

Jenny

Hi Katie,

I've been thinking about you a lot lately. A print of yours hangs on a wall in my home. It's the one of Kate R. sitting in a chair. I remember seeing the original in class and being blown away by your personal style. It felt fearless, confident and singular. At such an early age and at a stage in life where most young women are so unsure of themselves, you were already comfortable being Katie and you knew how to express this authenticity so that others, like me, could be...
