Damien,

I am so very sorry to hear this. Katie was way too young to have been taken by this horrible disease.

I saw the post you made on Facebook and read all the wonderful comments made by her friends and family. She sounded like a great friend and a wonderful wife and mother. I know it is hard on you, but do continue to share the the pictures and videos of Katie with your children. Also, make a copy of all the comments people made about Katie to share with your children as they grow older.

Our family suffered a similar tragedy when my 32 year old niece died suddenly a few years ago leaving two young children. At her memorial service we asked everyone to write something about her which was put in a memory book for her children. Perhaps ask them to share some pictures also.

My deepest condolences to you and your family during this time of unspeakable sorrow and loss.

RIP Kathie!
