Dear Doug, Brenda, Will, Chris and the Family, You have all been in my thoughts and prayers since my Mum told me the sad news. It is inconceivable that such a beautiful young woman is gone. your loss is...beyond words. I remember the joy when she was born; hopefully you will all remember the joy she brought to you as a salve to the pain now. There are probably no words that can really help, but know that you are thought of by all of your extended family, even those like us that are far away. I hope you can find some peace, as Kate has now. Love and blessings to each of you, Andrea

Doug, Brenda, Will , Chris and Teresa, Joe and Elaine I can't imagine what your going through. I'm at a loss for words. I've been remembering my time babysitting Katie and Will, I also remember our times at the cottage in Grand Bend. They were such fun. Just know my heart goes out to you in this difficult time. Katie has left a legacy behind her. She has left a mark on this world and in our hearts. One thing I have learnt over the last couple of years, is that, The more you talk about her, the stronger she will live in you Hearts!!!!!!! Love Gail XOXO
