Hello Brock, Ellie and Lauren,my thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family at this difficult time. I never had the chance to meet Kate but I enjoyed seeing your updates on the blog and on Facebook. I hope that even in this dark moment the joy Kate gave you and the knowledge that you gave her the best life she could have brings you both joy and comfort. Please give my love to the rest of the family. Monica Schulte
Hi, Ellie, Brock and Lauren,I was saddened to learn of Kate's passing. She was a courageous young lady, who had a lot of support. Although she struggled, she was strong in spirit, spunk, and admiration, and contributed a great deal to the family she loved and was loved by.I remember Ellie telling me once, that she was going home to do what she loved best, cuddling with Kate. Obviously, Ellie, you know that you cannot wrap love in a box, however, you also know that you can wrap a person in a hug, expressing the love you have for them.Your family has demonstrated the love of Christ through your journey with Kate. His love is well engrained in your souls. Your inspiration has reached faraway to people and places you will never know.I am so proud of you Ellie, that, in spite of the many challenges you have had, you have been able to achieve what needed to be done. You have been a Blessing to hundreds of people who you don't even know. You remind me of a quote from Henry Van Dyke:Favorite People, Favorite Places,Favorite Memories of the Past;These are the Joys of a Lifetime,These are the Things That will Last.We love you, Ellie, and your mazing family.Burr
Dear Brock and Ellie....our hearts go out to you and Lauren from across many miles at this time. We remember well when Kate was born, and what a joy she was to all of us who knew her. We pray that the God of all comfort will comfort you. Your beautiful obituary for her will touch many lives. Though we live in FL now, know that prayers will be coming your way. Love in Christ, Dan and Raelene
