Janet, Ken & Family,
I was so sorry to learn of Katie's passing. I didn't know her well, but I saw her on several occasions during my time at the bank. She was clearly a special person and I'm sure you were very proud of her. God bless you in this time of sorrow.

Ken, Janet, Jonathan and Ashley,
My heart aches over the loss of Katie. She was so full of love and laughter. I was on my way to work when I got the news and was totally speechless. I can't imagine how you will get on without her but I know she's being held in Jesus's arms and that we will see her again. May God give you comfort and peace.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Carrie Post Ortega and Family

It is difficult to understand the sudden loss of a loved one, especially one so young. Katie's cheerful and bubbly personality was a gift from God. I believe He needed her back. We will all miss Katie, and pray for her family's healing.
