"Where her gentle and fun nature taught her associates not to fear HR" This is so true. I worked with Katie at US Cellular and she was fun loving and high spirited. I am so sorry for your loss and she will be missed by many.

KT ~
From the time I met you in Kindergarten, you were always full of life. I'm so thankful to have had such a great 'first best friend' (as you wrote in the senior picture you gave me) - I have so many great memories of us when we were younger. While we didn't see each other much after parting ways for high school, you were very often on my mind - and very often prayed for these last 4 years. Such a courageous warrior you have been, fighting this vicious disease of cancer. Knowing that you were a child of God comforts me more than anything else - knowing you are safe in His arms now. And knowing I will see you again in heaven. :)
I will continue to keep your family in my prayers. Til we meet again my friend!
LYLAS Forever!!!
~ Wendy
PS - I met your lil' nephew Wyatt...what a sweetheart! The spark in his eyes definitely reminds me of you!

To Mr. and Mrs. Hans Buchert and family, you have my sympathy and prayers during this sad and hurtful time you are going through. I pray that God will give you the strength and faith to get through the loss of your beautiful daughter. She is with God now, and I know she loved you but she is so happy in her new and pain free home now! As much as she loved you, she would not want to leave her glorious home in heaven with Jesus and all of His heavenly host that welcomed her to a home of beauty that we here can't even begin to imagine the beauty and glory she stepped into. Just keep the faith in Christ, and one day you will all be together again.

Katie: I wasn't there to say Good Bye.. but I know you'll be there to say Hello whenever I get to Heaven. I know you know.. I love you and miss you. We had so many good times together. I hated to know you were suffering. I was so proud of your fight & your determination. I have been blessed to have you in my life and as an inspiration in life. There is so much that can be said. But it all comes down to... You are great. You are loved. You will always be remembered!!! =) I will always wear Pink in Honor of Your Life! When I see pink I think Katie, When I hear Katie I think Pink. If the clouds ever turn pink... we'll know who's behind it!!
SHRMies!

Katie, my roomie, best friend, and sister... I can't tell you enough how much I love you. You were an inspiration, a fighter, and my hero. You always put everyone before yourself and was there for me before I could even ask. Having you stand up in our wedding meant more to us than you could ever know. I know that you are in a much better place and that you are now a guardian angel looking over all of us. I look forward to seeing you again some day! I miss you dearly Katie! "I hope you dance..."
Forever and for always friends,

Katie was the sweetest most vibrant woman. She brightened up every room she walked into and I am proud that I knew her, even if it was for a short while. When she started at USCC I couldn't believe how bright and talented she was. She took to her role like it was meant for her. Successful in all aspects of her life is what I think of when I think of Katie. Rest in peace friend!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Katie you were the sister i always prayed for. Every moment, every picture, even our disagreements made me realize what it was like to have a sister. You gave me a gift in my life that i could never repay. I only hope i was the brother you wanted. Had i known our time was short i would have picked on you a lot more, but also told you i loved you much earlier. Thanks for everything kid.

Jenni & family,
I am so sadden by the news that Katie is no longer on this earth, but know she is in a better place. I had the honor of meeting Katie when she was the American Cancer Society's spokesperson for the Pink Porchlight Campaign. I will always remember her beautiful smile. She truly was an angel. With deepest sympathy.
October 27, 2010
I never knew you personally, but I must state that when I first started my career at U.S. Cellular you were so kind and welcoming to me. That will always be remembered and I am sure you will be greatly missed.

May you take comfort in knowing that Katie is now watching over you.

To my dearest Katie, You are the strongest woman I’ve ever known; I am so very blessed to have met you years ago. I will greatly miss your smile and laugh and how you never took one single breath for granted. You will live on in my heart always and with every step of a polka and waltz I will always remember the fun and laughter we had. You had the choice to sit it out.... but you danced.

Katie, you were the best little german dancer that I knew. Loved watching you twirl around on the dance floor. You were so light on your feet and always smiled. It was a tough battle for you. God saw that you were tired and took you home. Will always remember your great smile and your sweetness. Miss you and love you

Katie you were a ray of sunshine for everyone that you touched. Your courage and determination through your fight was inspirational. While I was not that close to you, the day that I got to walk down the isle with you at Brad and Jenni's wedding was one of the best experiences of my life and you will forever be in that memory. Keep smiling and keep dancing!!

Katie: I first met you at Oncology Alliance and was heart broken to see how young you are. You were so upbeat, greatly courages to look at the world in a different way. In your young life; you have accomplished so much, German Club in Menomonee Falls is where I used to go. I loved learning the dances and the Angels will learn a lot from your Talent. May the Universe and Angels surround you with happiness and peace, no more needles poking at you! Many Blessings to you and thank you for teaching me many things about life. To the family, Katie will always be in your heart and all around you. Pink is the life I live as well as I am sure you will.

Katie- you will be missed by so many people that loved you and supported you in your fight. The bond you have with Dave will always be remembered and it means so much to me that you were such a big part of his life. I am grateful that we were able to meet the few times we did when you were strong and feeling well. We prayed for you and lit a candle in your honor at church on Sunday. You are in the grace of God now. Never stop dancing...
