Not sure what to say?

Katie, as I begin 2016 and the challenges ahead I remember your voice telling me to believe in myself you told me you knew I could do anything. I miss our chats and more importantly I miss you.

Thank you for all your services you rendered you fought a good fight for people with disabilities like my daughter but your greatest fight was that of cancer you will truly be missed Felicia Mccardy

On June 16. 2015 Orlando lost a hero but heaven gained an angel.... Watch out heaven, Katie is in the house!!!

A very special lady.

Stephanie and Michael, Sending you love today as you publicly celebrate your mom's life and legacy. Of course, you more than anyone, know that her life was a celebration of all that is good and joyful. We all have been blessed by her life.

You really really learn to know someone when training for a marathon with them, year after year. Many heart felt conversations. Knowing you have so much in common....particularly drive. Although our politics were different, we found great joy in honoring each other's views. And, who else would have been with me after a 20 mile run, soaking ourselves in a fountain on Park Avenue? You are in my heart. Stephanie and Michael...

Will always remember Katie and my years working with Quest!

Stephanie, my condolences to you and your family. During this time as you reflect the many memories, you will receive the comfort to help you through the times you begin to miss her. Know that she is in a better place.
