Catherine A. "Katie" Schupak

To Shragi and Isabella, and my beloved Murphy family,

Kindness was truly the center of who Katie was. When I found out of her passing, one of the first things I thought of was how I can incorporate more acts of kindness in my day-to-day in honor of her. She modeled that so genuinely for everyone whose life she touched. What a legacy!

I have countless memories with Katie in our teen years, and when we both ended up in the NYC area as adults, we reconnected and I enjoyed having her close by. Always checking in, she had a gift for keeping in touch. She always made such an effort. I'm so grateful for that.

I'm sure anyone who knew her can agree that she was possibly the most accepting and non judgemental person ever. So welcoming and loving. And fun! We were always laughing.

Sending all my love and support to her family. She will always be close to my heart.

Love,
Alex
