We had the joy of seeing Katie many times while she and Carolyn played at our granddaughter Madison Moeller's home, next door to yours in Ankeny. We are incredibly saddened by your loss. We know how very much she was loved and how terribly you will miss her. We add our prayers to help you through this time.

May the peace, strength, and comfort of our Lord God be yours to carry you through this most difficult time. We can't begin to imagine the loss you are experiencing. Katie will always be remembered for her vibrant smile and love of life. Katie and our son Bob were classmates, and while serving as a "homeroom mom" during their elementary years, I had the pleasure of knowing Katie. Our paths crossed again about a year ago while sitting in a waiting room at a doctors office where she shared with me her experience as a student at CSU, where our son Scott is currently attending. Katie was truley an Angel on earth. She will always be remembered.

I was shocked to open the paper and read this today and I am deeply saddened by your loss. While I never met Katie, I do know her father which makes me believe she was a wonderful young lady with a bright future ahead of her. Our deepest sympathies to the entire Zucker family and our prayers are for you today. Good speed.
