When I think of Katie the first thought that comes to mind is that she was "an angel" on earth. She really blessed us with her presence and will always be in our hearts. Love you Katie!

Katie was truly an inspiration to everyone she came in contact with. Her frequent text messages will be missed. No matter what was going on in her life or health she was always more concerned with other people. She had the biggest heart of anyone that I have ever known. Even though her time was short on this Earth, she definately made the most of the time that she had and made a great impact on the world. If I can take anything from her and pass it on it will be her will to live and compassion for others.

Katie was one of my best friends and will be deeply missed. During this time of grief and sorrow, we must remember Katie for her unique personality and outlook on life. She was a wonderful person in every aspect and I will cherish the memories we shared.

My deepest sympathies to family and friends of Katie. Even in her short life here on earth she touched so many lives and her spirit will be kept alive by everyone that knew her. Please take comfort in knowing that she is in God's loving arms -she is still smiling brightly. May you feel God's love and strength as well during this time.

Katie,
I saw you everyday since I was born, every summer and every break since I attended school. I remember your smiles and the jokes you always had. Even though you were sick you never showed the pain you went through, you only showed the love in your heart. You were a great friend, a great person, and an amazing cousin. I knew that if I ever had a problem I could go to you and you would always give me the best advice you could no matter if you could relate directly to the issue or not. I will miss you, and from the bottom of my heart, I love you.
Love,
Bridget

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
Katie i love you so much and i will miss you a lot. i will remember all the good times we had, if it was watching a movie or you beating me in a game, i will miss it.
Love,
Max

Katie was my God Child and niece. I am not sure where to begin with how much Katie meant to me. Growing up, Katie was always my little friend and when she got older, I came to realize just what she meant to me. She proved to all of us to never give up hope and she always believed that as the disease progressed, this is how God wanted her to be and she was ok with it. Through each stage, Katie handled this with the utmost dignity and desire to keep on fighting. She never gave in or gave up and I attribute this to her very loving parents and world class caregivers, Peggy and Steve, her brothers and sister, Brad, Brian, Kevin and Kristy and all her close family and friends. The support over the years has not always just been for Katie, but for all her family, parents, brothers, sister, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Katie updates were always given when asked and the compassion that we felt from extended family, friends and acquaintances was overwhelming. I often heard from people that, although they never met Katie they felt like they have known her forever. Her bright smile and the beautiful blue eyes sparkled when people came to see her. You will hear over and over how important family was to Katie. She loved her family and even more, loved being with them all. When the family was faced with making a difficult medical decision, my first thought was the next time I see her she will have the biggest smile on her face. Shortly after the procedure was completed, I received a call from my younger sister and she said, you are not going to believe this, I walked into Katie’s room and there Katie was with this big smile on her face. This is who Katie was. Katie will live on in our hearts and memories, her picture displayed in all rooms of my home and at the office, as an inspiration to never give up or give in.

...The quiet suffering you must have felt, no one will ever know. You were never one who liked to complain, or let your pain show.
You suffered quietly as not to burden, only because you knew how much we were hurting...The impression you left behind, I have to admit is a one of a kind. A one of a kind is what you were, on our minds is where you are and in our hearts is where you will always dwell...

Our hearts and prayers go out to the entire family. We are deeply saddened by your loss.

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
With Love from your Godfather
