Katelyn is with the Lord, and is now one of heaven’s radiant angels.

I had read your post yesterday and it knotted my chest up. Was following the story on local news here in East Tennessee, and thought I would post this follow up when I heard she had gone Home.
Just wanted to give folks who didn’t see the story a chance to read it and learn more about this remarkable girl. Her short life and the way she lived it makes the problems of my life look very small especially considering I’ve already lived four times long than she did.
Had Angela Tarantula crying on “The Five”.
God Bless this courageous little girl..she showed so much bravery and grace throughout her ordeal..RIP Katelyn
And today is Good Friday....Guess where she is now? She carried her cross with grace...
Bless her and may her family find comfort and peace in her wonderful memory.
I admire her courage. R.I.P., Katelyn.
