Katy Long

So sorry and sad to hear about the loss of Katy. I loved that we got to know each other in volleyball, and she was such a warm, kind light in the world. Thinking of her family and friends during this sad time.

Dear Mark and Mary, We last had the joy of seeing Katy at Priscilla and Brandon's wedding. What a beautiful bundle of energy she made as she celebrated with the other bridesmaids (you could hear the giggling all the way down the hall!) What a precious gift was given to Priscilla in Katy's friendship. As parents, how our hearts long to ease your pain. As Priscilla's parents, we want to thank all of you for your part in making Katy, "Katy"... The world is now sadder, but better, because she...

I knew Katy but for a short time and feel blessed and rewarded to have spent time with her. She gifted me a song that we sang (even though we didn't know the words) and danced to. It's the song I play when I need a pick-me-up. I'll never forget hearing my wife laugh in the morning at something Katy said through an online chat. I'd tell her to tell Katy I said hi. I have a digital photo album at my house that shows random photos. Many are of Katy. No lie, those always make me...

A perfect obituary for one of the fiercest, kindest people to walk our Earth. Her friendship transformed me. I loved Katy so, so much and I always will.

-Grief is the last act of love we can give. Where there is deep grief, there was deep love.- My most heartfelt and sincere condolences go out to Katy´s family and friends in this very difficult loss. Everything about her will be missed. I will miss sharing coffee and ice cream with her, but it´s her beautiful smile I´ll miss the most. This is a picture from our last time getting ice cream together. May Katy be at peace.
