Messages of Love

From family and friends

Sarah Harris

Katie was a wonderful friend, a faithful believer who taught me how to rely on Jesus, and we learned so much from each other from mental health, to family, church culture. I was so shocked to hear she passed but take comfort in the fact she is reunited with loved ones and Jesus and free from the burdens of this world. I love you K O and still think of you often. Until we meet again.
