I will never forget you Katie, all I keep thinking of is how whenever you'd come over, we'd watch Lingo together and we were so amazing at it and really wanted to go on the show together and win money. :)
I miss you a lot and I will always love you. It's weird to say, but I really always thought we'd be sisters-in-law one day. I really love you Katie, and you will always be in my heart.

To her family, I'm sure you've heard this a million times by now, but if you ever do need anything, just give us a call, my family would be more than willing.

I'm not sure why my entry didn't go through the first time, but I just wanted to send my condolences again to your family on behalf of the Meyer family. Let any of us know if you need anything at all!

Katie had such a beautiful heart, and I'm so glad for every minute I got to spend with her.

My heart aches for your family...
But for Katie I feel joy because she's finally FREE from the thing that gave her so much pain.

Take care,
Thinking about you, and praying for you,
Amanda

I was completely shocked when I found out about Katie. I turned down the chance to go see her last weekend, which now I completly regret. My mom who passed away almost 3 years ago was very good friends with Diane. I remember when I was little and the family would come to my house and all of us kids would play. My deepest sympathy goes out to you guys.

If there is anything you need please ask my dad or me. We would love to help.

RIP katie

we will miss you

Katie and I had built a bond over the past few months while her stay at The Lodge. We even went to the same high school and had mutial friends. We always had lenthy conversations about "girl" stuff and concerns from both of our ends. We confided in each other. She has touched the lives of soo many and will be greatly missed. I will have Katie in my heart forever as she had a wonderful impact on myself and all the friends/staff at The Lodge. My sincerest regards to Katies' family during this time of need. WE LOVE YOU KATIE AND WILL NEVER FORGET YOU...
