It took me some time to write something as I was trying to think of the right words, but I know realize there are no words for the sorrow and the loss that Katies passing has caused. She was such a wonderful young lady who could always make you smile and light up a room. RIP Katie Bradshaw you are gone but will never be forgotten.

I am a regular at Country Waffles. Every Sunday morning, Katie gave me a gift: a warm smile, a cheery greeting, sometimes a laugh. Always upbeat, positive. Thanks, Katie, I'll miss you. But we'll meet again, when the time comes.

"Our friend Katie is gone from us. No more in this life will we see her smile, hear her laugh, share a joke or a warm embrace. But having touched our lives, a part of her remains with each of us, in our hearts and in our memories. As long as we remember, she will still be with us. Bon Voyage, Katie, until we meet again."

Remembering the great times we had together… From running around causing trouble and chasing the boys on the playground at Elbow Creek elementary. To many sleepless slumber parties playing “You don’t know Jack” or gossiping about anything and everything. We lost touch during middle school, but once we hit High School we competed together in Track and Field at Golden West, and it was like old times. You always made us laugh, so full of life and always happy. We had a blast! Our memories of you will live on forever, and you will never be forgotten. You were a great friend and will be missed deeply. Your family is in my prayers! Love you Katie.
