What a beautiful person and soul Katie was!  I'm so sorry you lost your battle, you did not deserve the pain and suffering that was handed to you.  Such a young, sweet person!  Thank you for your inspiration.  May God comfort and heal your family. Till we meet again...please watch over us you beautiful angel!  Your friend, Mike

Katie,
You have the most beautiful soul I have ever encountered. Much love from a girl whose life you so radically impacted, I can't wait to express my gratitude to you personally in heaven. See you soon. Well done, good and faithful servant.

Katie's the angel that we all knew her to be!  Praying for the Wagner family and all of Katie's many friends. Her story has impacted so many people of all ages. God used her short life to teach us all to trust in The Lord with all our hearts, minds and souls. She was a beautiful example to us all. I know she is resting in our Heavenly Father's arms.

Jacque, Steve, Chase, and Brett...I wish there was more that we could say or do to provide comfort for y'all. We love y'all and our hearts break for you. But we are so thankful that she is no longer in any pain and has found her way home. She has moved us toward Christ and I cannot thank her (and you) enough for facilitating this. Our lives are forever changed. If you ever need anything we are here for you. ~Bonifasi Family

I first heard Katy's story at Palmcroft Baptist Church.  My family is praying for your family, as I know you miss this dear sweetheart of a girl.  Safe in the arms of Jesus, we will see her again.  God bless you and keep you in His tender care. Carolyn & Paul Ackerman, Glendale, Az

God Bless Sweet Child. You did great things your short time here. I know you will be watching over beautiful family.

No words can describe my deep condolences for your family. I am a mother a parent and my heart breaks for you. I am thankful Katie is no longer suffering all those difficult medicines and procedures. Your daughter is so special and divine, always different it was in her eyes. God bless all of you. I will always be a shoulder or an ear if ever you need one. I don't personally know you but you are always in my prayers and thoughts. God bless you. Stay Strong. Hugs to you!

A beautiful soul who had a full understanding that she, God and Heaven were one. She came to tell the world her story of her love for Christ and belief in his entirety. A special touching message that when we die we await our very own party in heaven with God and his children. Party for eternity young lady!

May you walk along with no more pain in with God. My prayers are with your family and friends, as you were such an idol to so many and will be for years to come

Katie, you succeeded! Jesus has been exalted through your life! Well done good and faithful servant.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Katie you touch so many lives and did so much in your young life,you  will truly be missed by many.Praying for your  family and friends .Love from Ward,Dee and Brittany Triplett

Steve, Jacque, Chase and Brett;  Katie was such a gift to us.  Thank you for being so transparent in your journey, I believe that your openness gives people a sense that even though we are all going to feel pain here on our Earthly journey the good news is that the home we so long for is waiting for us and Katie is there.  She has left a huge legacy, we will never be able to measure the impact she had on Earth but it is certain that she has started a great awakening here in Anthem.  We are praying for comfort and healing for you all.

May your Beautiful spirit soar , you are a true inspiration , a shinning light shine bright !

Katie, may your faith continue on in the lives of those you have touched, and will continue to touch because of the dreams you had along with your family and friends. We will see you again in glory, love, the Crosby family.

We love you, Katie...Your passion for others was evident and you will be missed. You are with Jesus now and we can't wait to see you again. This isn't goodbye. Praying for those left behind on this earth to cope with your loss, but have comfort knowing you are not in pain anymore...

Your strength and inspiration to us will live on forever! Our hearts and prayers are with you.

My heart goes out to your family and the many lives you tocuhed. Delaney spoke of you all the time and she prays for you even today.  So I will pretend Im calling your cell...and can tell you how that I remember the last time we spoke at Tyler's Hands across Anthem and you were excited about your foundation..... you told me that you "wanted to give back to those kids in Uganda and build them a school" .... I know that Stepping Out for Hope will change many lives, just as you have. The candle lighting ceremony was beautiful..... and those candles twinkled like your eyes when you smiled.  You will be in our thoughts.

Katie you were a precious gift to this world. Praying for comfort and peace for your family and friends. This is not good bye, we will see you again soon!

Katie you are so precious! Praying for peace & comfort for all of your family & friends.  This is not good bye, we will see you soon!

MY HEART IS BREAKING FOR THIS FAMILY WHO HAVE LOST A MOST REMARKABLE YOUNG LADY - HER COMPASSION FOR OTHERS IN PAIN TELLS YOU THE KIND OF PERSON SHE WAS -HER LOVE OF JESUS HAS TOUCHED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE - I AM SURE SHE WAS GREETED WITH A PERSONAL HUG FROM OUR LORD - SAYING - WELL DONE, MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT - MARY LOU ROE

Steve, Jacque, Chase and Brett;  Our hearts and prayers are with you and sending love and prayers to you during this difficult time.

Katie was truly a remarkable young lady, and we feel blessed to have known her and your family. Sending love and peace to you.  The Smalley's; Kathy, Mark and Matthew

Dear Katie,
I miss you already, you will never be forgotten. Your love for your Jesus & family, your love for others, your smile, your sparkling eyes, your sense of humor......just a few of things that set you apart.
Thank you for being obedient to God's calling for your life. I will see you in heaven, save me a place at your house.
Sandy Wagner Struss/Aunt Sandy

I did not know Katie but when I heard about her story....my heart dropped. I lost my brother in 2009 to Ewing Sarcoma and I know how this cancer is and once again it took another person WAY to young and my heart and thoughts good out to the family.
