On
Saturday July 6th, God crowned another beautiful angel. Though Katie lost
the battle with her disease, she left this world with wisdom, courage, and
strength that most can only hope to achieve. She left a remarkable
impression on all those who knew her and will continue to be a great inspiration
to those who meet her in heaven.
Rest
in peace sweet angel.
Thank
You!!!
Katie is an
eight year old second grader from Wilbraham, MA who was diagnosed with type1 chronic
tyrosinemia, a genetic disorder which
led to
cirrhosis of the liver and caused irreparable damage just over a year ago.
With the help of prayers from so many wonderful people from all over the country
and the world, doctor's at the Children's Hospital of
Philadelphia were able to find Katie a new liver and give her the
transplant she so desperately needed only weeks after her diagnosis.
Katie's new liver functioned properly for only a short time before the cancer
appeared.
