Katie- from her family
Current mood: Heartbroken

For all of you who knew Katie, me or any of my family:

We tragically lost Katie on Friday Feb. 15th 2008. My family and I are heartbroken. We love Katie so much she was always the life of the family, the one who was always there for any of us and the one who loved everybody so much. She had the biggest heart and our family will never be the same without her.

It is such a tragedy to lose my sister at such a young age. We always used to talk about how we would grow up together and get amazing jobs and have kids who would all be best friends. About how we would live in different places but see each other all the time. She is my little sister and she'll always be with me.

To all of her friends, she loved all of you sooo much. There was never a conversation that we had that didn't have something to do with something crazy she did with her friends. Her life revolved around all of her best friends and I know that you guys are just as heartbroken as we are. It's horrible to lose a friend especially when they mean so much.

To the other families who lost their child that night, we feel you in our hearts and we know what you're going through. You feel like your world will never be the same again, that you may as well just die along with your child. I know that Katie would have wanted us to move on and lead wonderful lives. But we have to grieve for awhile, after all Katie was always the center of attention!

If any of the other families or any friends of Katies need anything they are more than welcome to stop by anytime day or night. We never want the laughter to go out of this house. Please keep sending messages and comments to Katie's myspace we love hearing from everybody. We will keep it going and check it alot. When we make the arrangements we will post it on her myspace and I'm sure that it will also get around by word of mouth.

Our family appreciates the outpouring of love and support that we have received from this entire town. Keep us in your hearts and prayers and remember the amazing life that Katie led. She lived life to the fullest and didn't waste a minute of the day. That's probably why she slept so well at night!

We hope that Zach and Clark make a speedy and all around amazing recovery. Katie loved those boys to no end. Our prayers are with their families. We hope to see you all soon.

Thank you everybody and we love you all.

The Carpentier Family; Ted, Lisa, Becca, Nathan, and Katie"
