It is amazing how one person can remind so many just how precious life and relationships are. Over the past few weeks I have heard story after story of lives touched by one person. Long lost friends reuniting unexpectedly at a vigil, families setting aside differences and linking arms in a field during a search, people moved to action for reasons they can't explain, prayers across a community unified by one life, one very special and precious life...your life has made an impact....your life has left a legacy...your life Katrina Smith will live on in the difference you have made in the lives of others!
