Hello All,
It is with great sadness that I must report that Katie passed away at about 5:10 this morning. The final days of her life were pain free, peaceful, and surrounded by family and friends. We were never able to fully wake her again following Thursday nights battle with pain and nausea, but I know she was able to hear what was going on around her and was aware that she was surrounded with love. I will be making arrangements for Katie's memorial service and will post the details as soon as they are finalized. Thank you all for your love, prayers, and support through this entire journey.
Peace,
Kevin

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 588 of 588I'm glad her pain is gone and she is at peace. I wish strength for you and your sons. I'm sorry for the pain you have to endure. I hope your happy memories of her will help the pain lessen.
Sending prayers of strength and comfort to you, Kevin, and to your boys - I only knew of Katie through the last 10 months through her blog but feel as though I have known her forever. She was a shining tower of courage and dignity beyond belief, as well as a unique and talented crafter. Praying for you to feel Katie by your side in everything you do as you and your sons embark on the rest of your lives. I know she will be sorely missed but I also know she has passed her strength on to you. God bless you and your family, Kevin! My prayers for you continue!!
My deepest sympathies to you and the boys. Katie was such a brave figher. I have followed Katies brave journey through her blog.
R.I.P. Katie...
Hugs...Patricia Rose
Praying for all of Katie's family and friends - may God continue to grant you strength and give his comfort as he holds you tightly in his arms.
Dear Kevin and Boys,
My thoughts and prayers are with you now. I so admire Katie for sharing her story. She was strong, beautiful and amazingly talented, not only with paper, but words.
She will be missed by so many, yet it is comforting to know she is at peace.
Keeping you and your beautiful family in my prayers. I am so very sorry for your tremendous loss. Thank you for sharing your memories of how you met and got together and of course the photos last week. What an amazing woman. Her smile was extra special to see knowing the pain she was in. She loved you all so much. Inspiring. Good bless you all and may His peace be with you now and always.
My deepest condolences. My thoughts are with you and your family, Kevin. Katie's courage touched my life and so many others...her beautiful memory will live on.
((((many comforting hugs)))
I don't u or Katie personally. I read about u guys on the Paper Lovelies FB page & have kept up w/ your blog updates. My husband & I r so very sorry 4 your loss. I hated 2 read that u lost the love the of your life & your boys lost their mommy! I never know what 2 say n times like this & I've no idea what u r feeling or going thru! Our thoughts r w/ u. We will b sending positive thoughts & energy your way 2 get u thru this time of sadness. There r 2 sayings that come 2 mind, that I used 2 think were stupid until I lived thru it & those r: "Time will heal your pain" & "Take it 1 day at a time"! They're true! Your & Katie's story has been very inspiring! I wish u & your boys the best! So very sorry! Take care!

I'm very, very sorry to read this! My thoughts are with you!
Hugs from Holland
Although I don't know your family, I do know what it's like to be a mother and to have been married for over 20 years...I can only imagine that Katie, like me, was happiest in those roles in her life. Having children was the best thing I ever did...and my wedding day was the best day of my life. She was blessed to have you in her life and I know she wasn't ready to leave you...but I also know the too-brief time she had with you all made her feel lucky indeed. God bless you all and God bless your talented and strong Katie.
If only we all had the strength and courage of Katie, she was a true inspiration to us all. Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time. RIP Katie xxx
Sorry for your loss - praying for your family.

So so Sorry for your loss! I will be praying for you and your children at this very tragic time!
I am so very sorry for your loss, Kevin. I am praying for you and your children. Katie is at peace now, without pain and watching over you and her children.
Love to you all
Dear Kevin,
I waited until today because I did not find the words and I do not find them today either. I hope you can find peace and comfort now that Katie is no longer suffering. I did not know her personally, we have never exchanged emails, but she managed to join many, many people around her, giving us a real approach to life with cancer. I started reading her blog in December last year and was always impressed by her serenity, her anger in tough moments and also wisdom to tell us what life had for her. I loved her fine writing style, I smiled and cried with her posts. It would have been an honor to be her friend. I am sure where she is now has been received with open arms and that she will always care of you and your kids.
Many warm hugs,
Edith, from Chile.
I am so sorry for your loss. Sending hugs and prayers to you and your family!!!
I am so very sorry for your loss of sweet Katie. We will all miss her in our own ways. Kevin, just know that Katie is with you and the boys in spirit. I'm so glad she left this earth without the pain. God be with you and your family and know we all are praying for you. Please keep in contact with us in letting us know how you and the boys are. RIP DEAR KATIE !!!!
I've been reading about Katie since I saw the "Swimming for Katie" campaign advertised on one of the blogs I follow.
My heart aches for you and your family. The only upside I can think of is that Katie is no longer suffering.
Peace be with you all.
I am so sorry Kevin!! She has touched so many lives and my heart goes out to you and your family.
I am so sorry to read of the passing of Katie. What a great talent she was and a huge loss for everyone. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and teh the children. God Bless and may Katie rest in peace.
I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of your beloved. May God give you the peace that passes all understanding during this difficult time.
Kevin, I know that there is nothing really anyone can say at a time like this. It is the fact that so many people care about you that counts. And as you can see from the ever growing list of people leaving comments how many people do care about you and your family. It is also a testament of how many people loved Katie, and how many lives she touched in her brief life. The world has grown a little dimmer because we lost the beautiful light that Katie shined for all of us. If there is anything I can do for you, you know how to contact me. My deepest condolences, Kevin. Hugs, Curt
God bless you and your family at this time, Kevin.
I am so sorry for your loss. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Other than our common interest in stamping, I am not sure why I signed up to follow Katie's blog. Maybe it was curiosity to see how she would deal with her illness or maybe it was because I have lost so many important people in my life to cancer...my mom, my son-in-law, my beautiful 13 year old niece, and several friends. Right now I have a young friend who has a 3 to 4 month time limit on her life. She will be leaving a devoted husband and two young children but she is facing this, with such dignity and courage, just as Katie did. It humbles me.
Thank you for your post today.
I know it must be so hard for you.
Please accept my condolences and heartfelt tears.
Kevin, so sorry to hear this sad news.
Katie's blog touched many lives and we all came to see what a special lady she is and one who will be sorely missed.
My heart goes out to you, your boys and all of your family at this sad time.
A new star will shine in the sky.
may peace be with you and your family...so sorry and my deepest sympathy!
hugs *~*
I'm very sorry for your loss. Katie was a wonderful spirit and that piece of her will remain with you. I hope you and the boys can move as peacefully as possible through this transition in your lives.
The crafting community has lost a blessed and giving soul today. Also sending the strength and hope for the future to her family and all her loved ones. Her gifts will be truly missed in the world!
Sincerely
Tammy Louise

I hope that all the great memories of her that you and the kids have, help you during the difficult times.
Kevin, My heart breaks for you and your sons. One thing I believe without a doubt is that Katie knew true love while here on earth, and that love will coninue to live on in you and your boy's hearts. Your journey with Katie is an inspiration for me and all who know your story to be the best we can be everyday. Thank you for so generously sharing your journey. I will keep you and your sons in my prayers and thoughts, may your faith help you endure your tremendous loss, and your memories give you stength. Take Care.

Dearest Kevin,I am so so sorry for your loss of a beautiful person.She fought so hard to live but our Lord wanted her home w/him.I believe she DID hear you while she was so sedated because she was so at peace.She know will be you and your beautiful sons angel on your shoulders.Know matter how much you prepare for a loss you really can never really be prepared can you? Maybe you can keep this site to let us know how you and the boys are doing and also when some time passes and things calm down and you have to go on to a "normal" life that will be sooo different from your "norm" I'm sure alot of us will love to keep in touch with you.I will surely like to hear from you and how things are going and be an ear if you need one.Again Kevin;GOD BLESS and KEEP YOU ALL SAFE.

May you be in a better place.
Kevin,
Your an inspiration as well. A genuine person. To have such love for another person. To be there for Katie and the boys. To carry on Katie's blog.
May your heart and soul heal and all the wonderful memories carry you through the rest of your journey through life with your boys.

I am so sorry about the loss of your wife, Katie. She had such a wonderful and giving spirit and touched so many lives on here as I'm sure she did to those she physically met as well. Love and prayers sent your way from Green Bay, WI.
Kevin,
You are always loved! Even in that darkest moment when you feel that God is not there, when you feel like He isn't good, or when you feel you can't go on: That is the God's favorite time to comfort you. Let Him do it. He will do it again and again. I hurt over your loss. I have too felt the effects of cancer in my life. She didn't lose the battle, the war was already won!
xoxo
God bless you and the boys during this time, Kevin. My He and the love and memory of your wife sustain you and give you hope during this time. Katie sounds like a beautiful person, it is clear the love of your family is strong...what a tremendous legacy. Keep faith and hope and live every day.

The Essence of Love...
the essence of Love allows your heart to break, and in that very same moment allows you to comfort those who have also had their hearts broken...
the essence of Love allows you to let go when your very being wants to hold on tighter...
the essence of Love is saying "You are allowed to go because we will be ok" and do so with a calm serenity...
the essence of Love clears the way for complete unselfishness and total compassion, for all of our paths lead to the same ultimate destination...
the essence of Love takes the pain and sorrow and changes it into laughter and smiles and memories...
the essence of Love holds you in it's power and gives you the strength when it feels like you couldn't possibly go on...
the essence of Love sings the words and the melody when your voice is lost...
the essence of Love shoulders all the fears and hurt and gives shelter to your bruised soul...
the essence of Love lives within you and I, easily accessed if you reach for it...
the essence of Love is whatever you need it to be, whenever you need it to be...
the essence of Love is... just is..
Katie sounded like a lovely person. I'm sad for your loss, and the world's loss of such a beautiful light. I wish peace and comfort to you and your family and friends during this time. <3
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Your wife was a beautiful person who touched many people's hearts.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. I hope you find peace.
So many prayers for you Kevin from the world it seems! May God heal your heart. We love you!
The Parable of Immortality
I am standing by the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze
and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength,
and I stand and watch until at last she hangs like a peck of white cloud
just where the sun and sky come down to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says :
- ‘There she goes!
Gone where?
Gone from my sight – that is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spar
as she was when she left my side
and just as able to bear her load of living freight
to the places of destination.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says:
- ‘There she goes! ‘,
there are other eyes watching her coming to shore,
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout :
- ‘Here she comes!’
By Henry Van Dyke
Peace be with you. My sincere condolences.
Katie, You are loved and missed. Kevin and boys, Sending lots of love your way.

Dear kevin and family... I am so very very sorry for your loss.. I knowyou find peace in that the Lord has a special place for her and that one day you will all see her again... Find comfort in knowing that she is not suffering any longer. I will ask the Lord to hold you up in prayer as you need it... He is far more faithful than we are at reminding us when we ask him.. rest, focus on things at hand and loving each other with all the love you can muster up on a day to day basis.
Because He lives,

The strength and bravery that you have expressed, as well as the tenderness and vulnerability is overwhelmingly inspiring. I send you infinite love and light for peace as you journey onward.
I just received this in my e mail and thought the timing was ironic. It was meant to comfort you I'm sure.

Love,

Kevin, Thanks for being there for your precious Katie and now for your children. Katie took a personal interest in our granddaughter,Grace, (TalesfromGraceland)blog. We are taking a special interest in you and your children by praying for you. Kevin,we love you and Jesus loves you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You had many wonderful years together, and while I'm sure the next few days, weeks, months, maybe even years, will be hard, at least you know she went peacefully, knowing she was surrounded by those that loved her the most, and I know she will always be with you, even if you don't know she's there.

So much love and caring and sincere prayer for peace to you and yours. What an inspiration you and Katie have been, and continue to be
Katie's memory will forever live in your hearts and her inspiration will continue to shine upon the world even after her passing. We can all be so lucky to have known such a special human being that has made us all better.
Wherever she is, she loves you and the family, and is ree of all pain. Thank you for sharing the journey with us. And I know it's cliche, but it hasn't ended. She has inspired so many of us, as have you. You are a strong man, Kevin, keep being strong, and always remember that wherever she is, she wants you to keep smiling and keep loving and keep living. Bless you and your wife.
I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for strength and comfort to you and your family through the harder times.
I was so sad to read about the end of Katie's life. My heart & prayers go out to you, the boys and rest of the family, especially in the weeks to come having to 'celebrate' the holidays without her. I wish I had known Katie - she sounded like a wonderful person. No doubt she will be spreading her sunshine up in Heaven.
I am so sorry, Kevin. Praying for you & your family. Rest in peace, Katie.
I am very sorry for your loss. Just remember that Katie will always be near you and taking care of you all. You will be in my prayers. Receive lots of love.

i cant stop tearing up reading this... i'm so so saddened... I pray for you and the boys kevin. Katie has touched so many people...
I'm so sorry.
I only came across this blog yesterday, but spent hours and hours reading katie's story. What a brave and lovely woman to share so much of herself. I cried through her hard times and smiled through the good. The love your family has just shines through it all. You are all very special people. I feel like I know you all, and I have lost a friend with katie's passing.
My thoughts are with you and your lovely boys.
I am so sorry for your loss.
On November 7th, 20 years ago, my beloved mom passed away from cancer. I couldn't help but think of her being part of the group of angels welcoming Kathy in heaven. They had a lot in common; they both loved arts and crafts, and were kind and generous.
May you and the boys find peace Kevin. You are in my thought and prayers.
