I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that you and your family are able to keep the strength you have shown during Katie's courageous battle to help you get get through this together. She was very blessed to have so much love and support from all of you and and also from her loving husband. Katie is at peace with no pain and I pray that her spirit and memory will help you lessen your pain in time. Take care of each other.

I am so sorry for you Greg, your wife and Bruce. Your Katie reminds me of my daughter Lauren, both were tall beautiful blondes who fought this disease until the end and then peacefully went to heaven. I've been thinking about you all this weekend. I wish so much there could be another outcome for all of us.

Greg
Sending you and your wife condolences on the loss of your daughter. She will live on forever in your heart and memories of her. The "old person's disease" colon cancer claims another young victim. It's so sad. We need more awareness that colon cancer can affect anyone at any age.

Take care of yourself.

Greg, I am so sorry to hear this and extend my heartfelt condolences to you and your entire family. Please take time to take care of you as well -- I know how strong you've been for her, and I know how hard it can be to keep that facade up. It's ok for you to need some time for yourself as well....
