On September 21, 2004 Katelyn Knebel passed away at the tender age of 17, after a three year battle with Ewing's Sarcoma, a type of cancer affecting the femur bone. For those who knew Katelyn, she was always laughing and smiling, and always up for a good time.
Throughout her long battle, Katelyn stayed positive, upbeat, and high spirited, even when times were at their hardest. Being raised in Warwick, Katelyn became very close to many people. She showed many that life is not to be taken for granted. Katelyn was loved and supported by all who knew her. She enriched the lives of friends and family, including her father Robert, brothers Robert Jr. and Harold, and sister Allison, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Katelyn was an extraordinary girl that will be forever missed and will always be looking down upon us.

"You can shed a tear that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can
remember her and only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it
live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or
you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on."
