Kathy and Family,

I am so incredibly sorry to hear of your loss. Unfortunately, as coworker of Kathy, I never had the opportunity to meet Karlee. She looks like such a beautiful, strong young lady. There are no “right” words to say during moments such as this. Please know that ALL of you are in my thoughts!

With my deepest sympathies,

Erica M. Porath

Rest in peace Karlee. Tricia DiLoreto often talked about what a wonderful, beautiful person she was with a kind soul I know she will be so missed by the family and her memories will live on forever.
