Katie and I were best friends in high school and for several years thereafter. We both worked at a department store in the mall. My funniest memory there was when she and I decided to "groove" to the videos playing on the TV in the Junior's department. We got a call and security had been watching us the whole time. Just a little embarrassing. The thing I loved about Katie the most is that I could be so goofy with her and she with me. We felt safe with each other to be silly, creative, and just be girls. We then went to work with Teen Mania together. She was on the drama team touring the country performing in front of thousands on a weekly basis…no surprise hu! That year had it's ups and downs for her. She went thru some really hard times & I was so very glad I could be there for her. After that, she moved to California then to Europe and we lost touch. We had just gotten back in touch about a year ago by email and she had recently visited ABQ. I was so looking forward to meeting her family, but things just got too busy and crazy and Oscar was on overdrive so we said we'd visit next year when they came back. I'm so sad that she is gone. She had so much inner beauty as well as outer. She will forever be special in my heart.
