Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dear Jeff and Family, Our thoughts are with you during this time. Since we never had the pleasure of meeting Katie, please know that we are praying for you here in South Louisiana. Mac, brother, if you need anything, let us know! Gee and Courtney Cassard
My husband and I had the pleasure of knowing Katie while attending Wichita South High School. When I think of Katie, I automatically think of her amazing, beautiful smile. There was never a day or time that I remember her being down. Her spirit was always uplifting and bright. We pray for her family and close friends grieving at this time. May the Lord bring comfort and peace to you all and cover you with his almighty love.
