Today I learned my best friends sister passed away unexpectedly. She leaves behind a very loving family including her 2 year old son Damien, her mother Marilyn and brother Rich, I have not seen Katie in a while but will always remember her for her big, bright smile. The Traxels are my extended family, they are the warmest, most giving people and greatest friends anyone could ask for. I started this page to help them with the costs related to her passing and to help her son who will have a very tough life without his mother. Thank you and God bless.
