Thank you for keeping us updated. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you and the boys. I just lost my mom who fought hard for a year and passed in June, so those wounds are fresh and I can relate to how you are feeling. We were very close.
Big Hugs~

Kevin, continuing to think of you and your boys as you go through the next few difficult days. Please know that we are all here for you and if we can do anything just let us know. Katie had an amazing group of blog friends.
If I weren't on the opposite coast, I would be honored to attend but know that you all continue to be in my thoughts and heart. Peace to you and the boys at this difficult time. <3

May our Lord comfort you in this painful time; may you and your sons feel His love for you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys.
I am so very sorry for your loss. It has been both heartbreaking and inspiring following this journey with your family. Katie has certainly touched hundreds of lives with her courage and honesty. The love you two shared was so beautiful to witness. Thank you Kevin for all your updates. I hope that you and the boys will find comfort in the love that still surrounds you. Continued prayers to your family.

I wish there were something I could say, but of course there isn't. Your family is in mine and my family's thoughts... We are so sorry for your loss, and the road you have been forced to travel.
Hugs to you and your boys,

Thank you Kevin for continuing to let us share your journey. I continue to keep you and the boys in my heart and thoughts. Please know that if you need anything just ask. The crafting community will do everything we can to help you. Peace be with you.
Dear Kevin,
It is just so hard to believe that Katie is gone. I am so glad that she is no longer suffering but I will miss her forever. She fought so hard and was such an inspiration because of her postitive and joyful nature. Her smile will live on with the memories that she gave to us.
God bless you and the boys and be with you throughout these difficult days. I send my love and prayers to all of you.
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
Please know many of us are with you and your family, even though our physical bodies are not able to. I'm sending love and hugs to all of you. It is comforting to know Katie had such a kind partner in you. All my best to you, Kevin, and the boys. As it was said in an earlier post, lean on us ( the crafting community)- we're here for you!
Kevin, I am Lori's (clear dollar stamps)Mom. Lori has been devastated by the loss of your Katie. I have read Katie's blogs ever since she was diagnoised. She was such an inspiration to everyone and was so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and friend.
May your wonderful memories be a source of comfort for you and your boys today. Rest in peace Katie!
Kevin,
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May the memories of Katie sustain you through this difficult time. We are so sorry for your loss. May God surround you with His love during this time.

Thank you for continuing to take the time to think of us.
I will be lighting a candle with you on the day.
Love as always XXX
Kevin, My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your boys. Katie is at peace and pain free looking over you and the boys always. Find strength in the special love you and Katie have shared for such a long time to carry on with what you and Katie started. My most sincere sympathy for you and your beautiful children. God Bless, a caring voice from across the country.
Kevin, You have been so gracious to keep us all updated and we have appreciated it. Whilst I am situated across oceans and seas, I too will light a candle of Monday and think of all 5 of you...Katie included. You have many new challenges ahead that I understand all too well....take a breath and deal with each one as you can. Your beautiful boys will see you through, as you will for them.Take care, I would love to hear your thoughts, prayers as well as joy and tears in the months ahead, but we understand if that becomes too tough. Best wishes.....
Thank you Kevin for taking the time to keep us updated its so very thoughtful of you. You and the boys have been constantly in my thoughts these past few days, take comfort from each other and know we are here for you in cyberland. Donna x
Dear Kevin
Take comfort in knowing that the love of your life is now an angel hovering over you and the boys. She lives on in the wonderful memories she has left you with.
Will keep you and the family in our prayers.
Oh Kevin, You are as kind and thoughtful as your beloved Katie in keeping us all updated. Thank you for supporting us as we try with all our hearts to support you and the boys. May you have good memories of all of the good times. I remember telling my ,then 10 year old daughter, when she cried that she wouldn't know what her grandmother would say, that she would know in her heart what Nana would want her to do. Keep Katie's undying love in your heart and she will guide you and the boys in the difficult days and brighten the happy days.
I will be at the chapel in spirit on Monday and will stop and pray with all her other internet and in life friends that her move to the Heavenly Father's home is smooth and swift and that she rest in peace in her Father's loving arms.
Many hugs,
barb
Kevin, my thoughts will be with you and your boys from across the pond on Monday.
Best wishes

I only knew Katie through the internet crafting world; she was a lovely soul & will be missed.
My family continues to pray for your family daily. I am so sorry for the loss of sweet Katie. May God surround you with nothing but love for you and your boys.

So sorry for your loss...you and your family will be in our prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Lifting you in prayer. Your strength is amazing. God bless you all.
Oh, Kevin... I am so very sorry to hear of Katie's passing! I know that you and the boys must be completely lost right now. I hope it helps in some small way to know that your sweet Katie touched so many, and will be deeply missed by so many.
Sadly, I did not have the pleasure of knowing/meeting Katie, but I have followed her blog and journey since just before her diagnosis... I am a CTMH Consultant and heard about her fabulous artwork on the CTMH BB's... Then I found out you all are from WA, and I am originally from
WA. We've got so much in common... I just felt like I knew Katie!
Please accept my deepest sympathies... My heart breaks for you and your family... Thoughts, hugs and prayers coming your way.
Kevin and Family

I am so very sorry for your unbelievable loss. All that I can think of to say is that I pray that you will feel the embrace of the love of God through so very many of us who grew to love all of you through Katie's amazing blog. May the memories of happy times together sustain you in your grief.
Prayers going up for all of you! Hugs! Don & Leah Ann

My deepest condolences to you and yours. Katie was truly an inspiration. May you find some measure of peace during this very difficult time.
My deepest sympathy to you and your sons at this very difficult time. May her memory live on in your hearts and minds. She will always be with you.
Love and light from across the miles.
Kevin, what a horrible loss; from reading several posts in her blog I can see how wonderful of a person Katie is, and how lucky you two were to have found each other. let her kindness, creativity and love be demonstrated by the mini-katie's she has graced you with.
bodies age and change and leave us, but spirits, memories, and love, those things are eternal.
peace to you and your family.
This is only a small thing, and maybe a little silly, but...maybe it'll be some comfort. I'm one of those anthropology girls, and I've been studying different cultures for a few years now. You know, I haven't really come across any in which the end is really the end? It's always something transitory, infinite, and stretching. Katie isn't gone so far away, I don't think, and all the peoples of the world can't be wrong.
Good luck, and though I've never met her, even what I've read has convinced me that your wife was a wonderful woman.
Love,
(another) Katie

Praying for your family!
I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for your family, that you would be able to walk through this suffering with the help of your family, friends, and the Lord. Praying for peace to rest on you all. Your wife seems like she was a wonderful, beautiful woman.
I am so very sorry for your loss. May god give you and the boys the strength to get through this. Prayers to you and your family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Thanks for being so strong for Katie.
