Kyra we are so sorry to hear about your mom, she was a wonderful woman. If you need anything, we are here for you!
To Katie’s entire family, she was one of my dearest friends in high school. We shared so many good times and wonderful memories. She was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Sending you comfort and prayers during this incredilbly difficult time.
Today we were talking about the time we visited you and your wonderful family. The beautiful greeting we received and the wonderful gifts your amazing children gave us. The hospitality and great conversation. Meeting your beautiful wife for the first time and what a great person we all thought she was. Grillin and chilling with you all. Hanging out by the fire and the Smores we had that evening and then the Karaoke. That was one of the best memories we had when visiting the US.
We send our love and prayers to you and your family

You will be missed Cousin! Love you! Rest In Peace!
I can still hear Katie’s laugh, it is the best! I loved talking to Katie even if it was just venting about work, she was always upbeat and funny, always kind and sweet. Katie is one of a kind and will be missed every single day. My heart breaks for anyone lucky enough to know her and love her.
Katie was a good friend in school.
Johnnie and family….We are so very sorry for the loss of your wife and Mother, you are all in our prayers for comfort and Peace.. r&l
I remember playing with Katie and her brothers at many a family gathering at her Uncle Art and Aunt Diann’s house. We were lucky enough to been a part of those days. Katie was always so kind. I know she will be missed by many. My prayers to Katie’s family and friends in this time of sorrow. May Katie’s memories bring everyone peace and healing.
Such a supportive and kind mother shall rest in peace for eternity.
Katie was not only an amazing friend and co-worker, she was a wonderful mom who took so much pride in her children. She gave me such great advice on what to see and try at Universal Studios as she had recently taken a Mother/Son trip with Johnny. She reveled in Kyra’s outgoing sunny personality. She loved sharing videos Kyra had made and was so proud of her. Not only was Katie a great mom/wife/daughter/friend, she also loved animals. She shared many photos of her beloved dog. I will miss her immensely!
You will be missed by your family & friends
She was MY Katiedid! My mentor at UH when I was a “perma-temp” before actually becoming an employee. We had the same starting date – January 7th, and always shared a meme or two on that day. She called us the “Power Twins”! I will Celebrate her every January 7th! Rest in peace Agent #11…you will always be in my heart – Agent #12 HUGS to her family!
Katie was very special to me as she was to everyone whose heart she touched. I will miss her deeply.
Always my friend
