Obituaries

On behalf of the Bright Star Engineering family we send our deepest condolences at the loss of Katie. A donation is being made in Katie’s remembrance to the game on cancer foundation. So sorry for your great loss and may Katie rest in peace.

This beautiful young woman was such a bright ray of sunshine in this sometimes dismal world. Even through the darkest of her days, she would find hope, joy, faith and gratitude. She was beyond special - not just to her family, but to friends, co-workers, medical staff, etc. We will all miss her more than words will ever express, but she will live on in our hearts. We will always grieve for the days she never got to experience, and we will ache with the sadness we feel in her absence, but I can pretty much guarantee she would just want us to rejoice in what we currently have and not dwell on the "what-ifs". She would want us to enjoy each new day to the fullest, because that's how she was. We love you, Katie!

"I could not stay another day, To love, to laugh, to work or play; Tasks left undone must stay that way. And if my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy." -unknown Rest in Heaven, Dear Katie. We love you.

We are so sorry for the loss of your daughter, sister, aunt and friend. Praying for your family. With deepest sympathy, Natalie & Erik Smith.
