To the friends and family of Katie, I am so sorry about your loss. I lost my oldest sister a few years ago and the pain still lingers. However, when I'm down and out and deeply saddened by losing her I turn to the scriptures for comfort. Revelation 21:4 reminds me that soon God will end death and suffering forever. "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” I hope this scripture comforts you during this difficult time.
