Tom,
I am so sorry for your loss!
Katie was always someone I looked forward to talking to when she came into Hawkeye Tack. Our first meeting was about a 2 hour session of her grasping for information but it was my pleasure to always talk to her and watch her eyes when we would talk. I could see the enthusiasm for her passion and mine. She was one of the last people I had the pleasure of helping at Hawkeye before I had to leave to move closer to my family. She always had a place in my heart and she always will!
My love to you and your family!

Jana,
I just received word about Katie's accident. I am so very sorry. I wish there was something I could do or say to make you feel better. I know how much you loved Katie and how proud you are of her. I really am at a loss for words but please know that I am thinking about you I know you will pull out every bit of strength you have to get through this.
If there is anything in the world I can do for you, Jana, please let me know. After losing my Mom, I know some of the things you are going through. It is just awful and I can't even wrap my head around losing a child. Seriously, I'd be glad to talk with you or just hang out or do something with you...anything!
Be strong but accept help from those who reach out to you. I will be thinking of you and your family.

Katie was such a beautiful, wonderful young lady, which I had just told her on that Monday 12/27 when she stopped in at the Barn to see me, as she always did when she was home. She held and does hold a special place in my heart. I love her and miss her. Her family is in my thoughts and prayers asking God to give you strength and comfort.
