While I had not been in contact with Katie for several years, having known her since elementary school, I can honestly say that her laughter and good spirits are going to be missed by all who ever had the pleasure of meeting her. I am sorry to hear of her passing. may she rest in peace.

My heart cries for all of you. I have happy memories of when I babysat for Katie and Richie and will always have the Keyes Family in my heart. Unfortunately I am in New York to help my daughter and her family she had 2 strokes so I am unable to attend Katie's service but remember you are in my prayers. Rest in peace Katie. Love to all Ron and Linda Rossi
