Katie was kind to and loved so many people, and to say that she’ll be missed is a great understatement.

Thanks to all!

So very sorry for the loss of Katie.. She was such a beautiful person and will be greatly missed. Love and prayers to your family…RD and Renee Stuart
I remember the first time I met Katie at Duck Creek through pastor Dean Medlin and his beautiful wife Barbara. Katie and I became great friends and every time I came back to Missouri to visit the Medlin family, I would always ask to see Katie. We were prayer partners, and pen pals till I lost track of Katie. She always held a very special place in my heart. I asked her one time What I could bring her from Wisconsin, her words were a Wisconsin t-shirt, and my beautiful smile… Katie I know you suffer no more, I will always remember your beautiful smile. And
No matter how sick you were you never complained. Love your sister in Christ Patty in Appleton, WISCONSIN
I don’t know where to start to express the loss I know you all are going through. Katie was such a specia lady. I loved her smile and always a kind word for everyone around her. Katie is such a good example on how we all should love Jesus and prepare for our special day when we are called home. Love and will miss you Katie!
