Tributes

What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman. You will be sorely missed Katie by everyone who was blessed to know you. No matter how hard life got, you carried on with strength and determination. You were dedicated to your work and your family and your life lit up when you got together with Jarred. You have been taken too young and just when you had your whole future ahead of you. Rest in peace (along with those LLama's) Katie. XX

Katie you were a beautiful loving caring soul, and even though you had your health issues, you still had enough energy, love and kindness to share with other people. The heavens needed another Angel and they chose you. You will be missed by all that knew you, with your beautiful smile and humor. Moe mai ra e hoa, haere atu ra ki te taha o nga Tupuna.
