I have dwelled on what to write for a few days now. What do you say to a family for such a great loss? God has some good reason for taking Katie home with him. Katie's smile and soft spoken ways will shine through as a sweet angel watching down on all who have known her. I feel blessed to have been one of those people. Thanks for the smiles Katie, Angela, Tiffany, Maggie, L.A., Pat, Larry and all the Forest Park kids have given me. My thoughts are always with the Rossiter family, Gods Peace. Anita Pruett
