I will always love my sister. ❤️ you helped raise me and always treated me so well. I love your random messages of all hours and our video chats. I'm glad ur not in pain. Fly high beautiful. I know your watching over us!
Katherine was one of my best friends. She knew how to brighten up a room just by being there. Her smile was infectious, as was her kindness. She would never say a mean thing to anyone! We grew up and went to school together and we were reading "The Crucible" and we made up characters from the book. I did an English accent that just busted her up. I will truly miss her. Rest in Peace, dear Katie... Eric Thompson 5/20/25
I can only remember her warm smile and kind words she’d say to me in high school. She was such a wonderful person and I’m deeply saddened knowing she’s gone. She will always be truly missed.
I know we never got to meet in person but you helped me out so much by just praying for me and being a real friend to me that I never had and always checking on me and sending me pictures and reels that made me feel happy and I’ll have our messages to look at always and remember that I can do anything like you always told me I can do anything and I’ll miss our video chats you made me laugh so much and we would cry or laugh or anything ❤️ I miss you so much ❤️
We have always had so much to talk about.. every visit. My favorite memories are at grandma's house(gma gaylord)while she was making my wedding dress... or playing in the jeeps with Sarah at the end of walker rd. Then making a camp fire at the river or the beach. Katie you are such a bright light. I'm going to miss you bunches. If you see Sarah up there please hug her for me too ♡
I’ll remember being at work with her and spending time with her talking about life and tribulations. She helped me in a very tough part of my life and found a way to make me smile and laugh. She’s such a sweet soul and I’ll never forget her.love you Kay!!
I'll remember Katherine's easy smile, and her sweet spirit. Memories of happy times shared out on the boat with her aunt Val. Godspeed Katherine, may the angels welcome you to paradise and into the arms of Jesus.
I have so many fond memories of Katie.... from her love of slop and always wanting me to make it for her, to her as a child running up to give me a big hug when she'd see me and then ask if I could just hang Krissy off of the ceiling fan instead of both of them as I used to joke with them I was going to do. She was always such a happy little girl and when she got a little older, absolutely fearless. She always wanted to do what the grown-ups were doing - shooting, fishing, four-wheeling, riding quads, whatever - she was not only down for it, she was always good at it! She had a fierce love and sense of protection for her sisters and her family. No one who ever met Katie will ever be able to forget her, she will be sorely missed by one and all.
RIP, Katie Mae, I love you!

Katherine we weren’t as close as most, but I met you when I moved to crescent city in the 8th grade. We were definitely acquaintances, and I consider you a friend. You were always willing to meet everybody with the warmest smile and never held animosity to anybody. Even years after high school when you would walk in and see me working at the Apple peddler you would just give me the biggest smile and ask how I am doing and were the kindest warmest person and always brightened my work day. You are an angel that led this world to soon. And you will forever live on in all of our hearts. Until we all meet again. Fly high you beautiful soul ♥️
