I am so incredibly sorry to hear about the passing of Katherine. I didn't know her personally, but we went to Mount Mercy together, and many of the girls in my graduating class have been posting such beautiful tributes to her. She was loved by so many, and will be missed just the same. May you find the strength you need to get through this difficult time. My thoughts are with you all.

Billy & Eileen,

We're so saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Katherine.
Katherine was our lifeguard at Caz pool. Katherine had the Ryan/Kearns sense of humor and would say to us "Mrs. Mulderig you can swim in the deep end Mr. Mulderig put on your floaties and go to the shallow end." We will always have fond memories of your beautiful daughter Katherine

Words can't express how much I will miss you. I'll miss our Titanic-related messages and shares, our conversations about the paranormal (if you need to drop by in ghost form, I totally understand!) and sending each other Friends quotes.

My heart aches for your family and friends. But I hope everyone realizes how much more special life was with you in it. We're all going to miss you, but we'll be reunited later.

Love you!
