Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. We are so sorry for your loss.
It is hard to express in words the heartfelt sympathy I feel for all of Katie’s family. Please know that I am joining hundreds of others in constant prayer for you all during these next days and weeks. I know you’ll find some comfort and peace with the Lord cradling all of you in His arms. I’ll always remember that sweet, smiling face that brightened up any day. Rest in love, sweet girls.
Seth, the Reed family, Roy and all
It broke my heart to hear of Katie's passing. Words will not change anything and to be honest I don't even know what to say. I will never forget Katie's sweet smile and the kindness she showed when I was around. I enjoyed the holiday potlucks at church and talking school. Those conversations seem way too short now. Katie was a light in a dark world. I do know God provides comfort in all things. My thoughts and prayers are with you in the days to come. May God give you peace and comfort. Love to all.
My deepest and heartfelt sympathy to Katie's family and friends. I am sad that I did not have the opportunity to meet Katie one on one and be part of her 1st year here at Mountain Grove Middle School. I can tell with the many glowing comments that it is our great loss. Praying God's comfort and peace for you all.
I am so very sorry. I am praying for your whole family. May God take care of you all. Love you all.
Katie sounds like an amazing young lady from all of the kind words people have written. My 15 year old daughter was going to have her as a teacher this year. I feel as if my daughter would have been blessed if she would have had that opportunity. My heart breaks for all who knew & loved Katie. Just know she & Peyton will be waiting in Heaven come reunion time.
My youngest daughter passed away six years ago at the age of 15 days, so trust me when I say I understand that no words help & time does not ease the pain. The unconditional love of our Heavenly Father & the promise of a Heavenly reunion does. Please know that our family is praying for you all & will continue to do so in the most difficult times ahead. One thing that helped us is: Heaven knows no time so what are years to us are only a blink of an eye to our babies/loved ones.
Cherish & share your memories.
"I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
To the families, I have adored Katie since she was a little girl. She was an amazing person with a beautiful spirit and was kind to all she came in contact with. I was blessed to have known her and I am so very sorry for your loss. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
You are all in our prayers daily for the days, weeks, and years to come. I can’t find the perfect words to say, we love you all deeply, and are praying fervently for strength and comfort that only GOD can provide.
Roy,
So deeply sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Your friend always,
Bill Kirkendoll
To Seth and all of Katie's family and friends, my heart breaks for the loss that everyone left behind is feeling. Katie was such a precious gift to everyone who came into contact with her. I remember her bright eyes and huge smile that added instant sunshine to any room. I pray that you remember Katie's light in the days and years ahead of you and that you let the Holy Spirit surround you with peace knowing that she and baby Peyton are with their Savior in eternity. Our loss is heaven's gain.
Dear Seth and Katie’s family,

Seth and both of Katie's families- I can only imagine what you are going through during this time and I know that there is no explanation or any amount of human reasoning that can make it better. There are many of us who hurt with you and continue to pray for you. I pray for an extra measure of faith and the marvelous grace of God to sustain you during this time. God bless.
