Mr. and Mrs. Prosapio, Brian, and Laura,

Words cannot express how sorry I am. I may not have known Katie very well, but the one thing that I did know was how strongly she loved the Lord. Her beliefs were evident in all that she did and said. She inspired so many people in her life and she continues to touch people today. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

The Prosapios,

You are forever in my prayers. Pat, Katie could never have asked for a better mother who cared and loved for her the way you did. Jerry, the amazing father of such an amazing and beautiful young lady...Katie couldn't have asked for more. Brian, the one Katie looked up to. You were a role model in a very special way, a loving brother who fears God and because of you, Katie was an even better little sister. You gave Katie so much and with that got so much in return. Laura, precious angel, you will get through this. Katie is in you, everyone knows that. The same smile, charm, and love that Katie had is revived through you.



Heaven's angels rejoiced Tuesday morning because they heard that the most beautiful angel of all had entered their kingdom.



With all my love,

Mark and Annika Triller

Jerry and Pat,

Katie made such an impression on all of us when she stood in front of the congregation and told us of her love for Jesus and how she was going to serve the Lord. We have 5 daughters and I hope they resemble Katie in some way because they would truly resemble Jesus. Our prayers extend to you and Brian and Laura.

Our hearts and prayers go out to you as you go through this unbelievable time of grief. Your daughter was a wonderful Christian who loved Jesus with her whole heart. Difficult and hard to understand circumstances can come our way even though we trust God. Though the Bible tells us "God works all things together for our good," in this life we still may ask, "Why?" God can handle our questions. As your daughter is now with Jesus we pray for His strength to help you in the challenging days ahead.

Love Pastor Ken Dignan

Katie always greeted me with a hug and a smile and always made me feel welcome when I came to Youth Group. She was the sweetest girl I ever knew and God has a big plan for her up in Heaven. My thoughts are with you and your family at this very difficult time.

Jerry & Pat,

I am so sorry that I could not make the trip with Jim. You are in my constant prayers during this extremely difficult time. The faculty at Abington Christian Academy is remembering you as well. Katie was a very special shining star. God blessed you with an incredible talented, bright, and beautiful gift when He gave you Katie. I have vivid memories of her beautiful smile and disposition during her growing up years. She grew into a godly young woman who was bold about her faith. We know that you reared her well and instilled in her the knowledge and wisdom God blessed you with. You did a great job! We rejoice with you in that and sorrow with you during this time of great loss and grief.

You have always been one of God's most precious angels. We were blessed to have had the awesome opportunity of having you in our lives. All our memories of you are just pure sunshine and laughter. You certainly are an apple of God's eye. No one will ever be able to fill your place in our hearts. Watch over us up there. Don't break all the aloe vera's up there though. Can't wait to see you again someday. We will always love you like a daughter. You were an amazing friend to Carina, Thea, and Becky. You will never be forgotten.
