Default Katie Renz...

I just saw on her blog that her husband posted she passed away this morning from her cancer. I was so saddened and heartbroken for her husband and her 3 young boys. I just wanted to let everyone know.:(

Yes, I heard on FB of her death. I am so very sad for her family. I can only imagine how difficult these days have been for them. I only knew Katie through the internet world. Yet, she was able to express herself in such a way where I felt a warmth and a friendship of long standing. I will always be so impressed by her tremendous courage and candor under extremely difficult circumstances, of which I can only imagine. She is my hero. I wish her family peace and strength during this time as they mourn her loss.

There's a post in "Need a lift" about Katie,

Yes it's sad. Cancer is very ugly thing.

I never knew Katie , but I found her Blog. There are over 300 messages there.
If anyone wants to leave a message for her family here is the link

So sad to see pictures of her with her small children who will grow up without their mother

It's so strange, I'd never heard of her except through here, and then I find out she lives one town away from me. It's sad that I was never able to meet her when we lived so close.

Prayers going up for her family.

That's so sad! I didn't follow her blog and story closely, but read through it occasionally. Her strength was very inspiring and it's nice of her family (in particular her husband) to continue to share her story and keep her blog readers updated.

I have followed Katie's blog ever since she was diagnosed a year ago. So sad and so young!! I hope her little boys will be ok.

I only knew her from circles in the crafting world. She was a beautiful, sweet and caring. I cried when I heard her of passing. She will truly be missed.
