How tragic and sad. My condolences to her family.
IT is the worst tragedy a family can face having one so young being taken from them, She was no more than a child and had her whole life ahead of her. I pray for her as she makes the transition to Heaven and leaves her loved ones behind. I also pray that the Lord gives her family the strength and faith to endure this heartwrenching trauma.
My heart goes out to her family and loved ones.
I noticed a lot of deer walking around yesterday.
This is a parent's worse nightmare. My heart breaks for Katie's family and friends.
My condolences and prayers to Katie's family. As parents of older teenagers, this is one of my worst fears. I am so very sorry that this happened. It is so very tragic and so sad. Just to think about this hurts. May God bless us all.
Katie was my best friend for several years, but we drifted apart for a little while. We hung out everyday together, walking over 40 blocks to the beach and back. We talked about everything and absolutely nothing and always cracked up laughing. Just recently we started hanging out again and I've realized how much of a true friend and a REAL person she has always been to me. If I hadn't had the chance to see her for those few weekends I don't know what I would do. I love you Katie Jenna Murray. You are and will always be my best friend until the end of time. I miss you more than you'll ever know.
Love always & forever,
Lis
My heart goes out to the parents of this young lady. As a parent myself, I cannot imagine the hurt of learning of this tragedy.
Let us not forget that delivering this kind of news to family members is perhaps the worst part of a law enforcement officer's duty. Nobody wants to tell a parent that their child has been lost.
