Thank you so much for your post. It is heartbreaking to loose a child, especially one so young. Katie became a member of the OCF family and we share in your loss.
My deepest sympathy goes out to you, Damien, her children and the rest of her family and friends. I never had the pleasure of meeting her, but from what others wrote about her, she was a very special person.
