Katherine would be embarrassed if our admiration of her distracted us from other wounded households....She was a champion for others, and among the first to recognize when someone is isolated and lacking support, burdened by shame, therefore honoring Katherine compels us to remember a 7th family, equally wounded in the loss of someone dear to them. We count on the Lord and our community to support them generously, extravagantly, and to offer them the hope that sustains. We are trusting in the strong and loving embrace of a strong and loving God to take each of the 7 that died and heal their wounds and their souls.

Yes, David. Yes, Katherine. Yes, Lord.
