A Brutal Murder ~ A Tragic Loss

This morning we received some heart wrenching news.  A longtime client and dear friend

of my husband lost his only daughter.  She was murdered last night in her home.

Katy was a young woman full of promise.  A very talented musician, a loving daughter,

granddaughter and sister.  She was about to begin her graduate school studies in

psychology.  Her life was cut short last night by gunshot.  Apparently it was by

a man she knew.

This happened in the small idyllic college of town of Moscow, Idaho.  Home of 

the University of Idaho. 

There are no words to express the heartache I feel for the loss of this dear

young woman.  She was exemplary in so many ways.  It is a great loss for her family,

her friends and her community.  Her future was cut short.  The prime suspect

 took his own life following the murder.  He too was a talented young
man whose life was filled with promise.

So much unnecessary loss.

Rest in peace dear Katy.  We will remember and treasure your brief time with us.

To all women, both young and old ~ 

Should you feel threatened by anyone, please do not hesitate to

contact the police and ask for help.  You don't have to live in a big city to 

experience this type of violence.
