Samantha Castello wrote a sympathy message

“Katie Bug, you will always be the singular friend who stood out as the purest, kindest and most fun friends since junior high, who accepted me into the fold with grace and your beautiful laughing eyes. Wise beyond your years, beautiful and always up for a summer adventure when we all got our licenses and spent our times laughing and soaking from water balloon fights. I wish I would've kept in touch, but I am boundlessly grateful for the day you came into my life. - Sammy Soda poppy seed ❤️🫶🏻”
