Tom, Nancy, and Billie: I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter, sister, and my cousin. It was good to see the pictures of Katie's recent visit to Pittsburgh, it looked like a good family time.

We love you all.

Dear Katie, Although we never really got to know each other like I wish we could have, I want you to know that I prayed for you and loved you like my own sister.

It is truly a tragedy that you were taken so early from your family. Love, Charlie
