Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to your family as you adjust to life without Catie's physical presence. I'm sure she's still with you, and is watching over you until you are reunited in heaven. Thank you for sharing her inspirational story. I'm sorry you didn't get the miracle you were hoping for - but I hope you are constantly reminded of all the others that happened instead. What a brave and special little girl, to have touched so many lives in such a short amount of time! May God bless you all and hold you in the palm of His hand as you move forward.
Praying that God will wrap His loving arms around all of you, comfort you & give you His peace. God Bless You! C.O.L.E. (Caring Openly, Loving Eternally) Prayer Team www.colesfoundation.com
Dear Catie, I know you can read these messages, so, Happy New Life. I know you're now in the arms of The Father. Please pray for us. Ciao Catie. Dear family, May God grant you serenity and peace. You were blessed with Faith, may that grow in your hearts forever.
Christine, Kevin, and Kids-- My heart goes out to all of you upon learning of Catie's passing. I have had the fortune to be a witness to Catie's journey thanks to your daily updates. You are such a loving and strong family. You've given so much of yourself, not only in support of Catie, but to all of us who you've shared her/your story with. I know that your faith will bring you great peace. Catie is indeed in a better place. Catie has had such a great impact on so many through her courageous battle. Some people live 80 years and can't quantify their impact on the world and the people around them. In the nearly 8 years that Catie shared her spirit with you all and others, I believe she lived multiple lifetimes. She will live forever through all the people she has impacted. This I am sure of. If there is anything, anything at all, I can do for you all -- never hesitate to ask. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to you for sharing Catie's journey. You have shared with us with incredible courage and faith and the impact and inspiration that this darling little girl's life has had on so many is immeasurable. What a witness all of you are! My prayers and love are with you all.
Thank you for privilege of allowing us to have a glimpse to a real saint on this earth, it has been an honor to be on this personal journey with you and your family. We are heartbroken for your loss, but we are certain that Catie is with our Lord and Our Blessed Mother. I hope she will continue to pray for all of us. Our love & prayers, Cookie, Ray, Christine & Andrew
Dear O'Brien Family - We are so sorry to hear of your physical loss of your beautiful little girl. We send our prayers for God to comfort you through all measures. Our hearts ache.

Thank you for sharing your most intimate moments with us along Catie's journey. And we hope to hear the miracles continuing from your Angel and Saint to be in heaven!! God Bless and know our love is with you! The Winter Family
All of our thoughts and prayers are with you today as you mourn the loss of your sweet, smiley girl - the beautiful Catie. May you find peace and comfort in all of your wonderful memories and in the knowledge that Catie is home with our Lord - free of pain and suffering and once again, celebrating with that million dollar, megawatt smile! Prayers and hugs, The Neeson Family - Tom, Marisa, Michael, Molly, Max, and Megan
Dear O'Brien Family, I am so sorry to hear the loss of such a wonderful gift, Catie. I know for a fact that Catie went straight up to heaven and is watching over us right now. I feel so honored to have known such a wonderful child. Every Malvern Family Retreat with the O'Brien kids was like a weekend of fun. They always suprised me with new crafts and funny jokes. Although Catie has passed, i see that bright kilowatt smile on every one of the sensational six faces. Catie will always be in my heart and the hearts of many. May God bless you, O'Brien Family, and turn your tears of sorrow to tears of joy and happiness. Catie soul has not left, we can all feel the warmth of her presence around each of us. I now know i have a new angel to pray to. Sincerly, Kristin McGrath
Dear O'Brian Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. In a way this is a bitter sweet thing. Bitter because she is not with us anymore, sweet because she's home with God and will be safe forever. I lost an old friend to cancer and I know how hard its been. I have also lost my cousin. I can relate. I just want you to know how deeply sorry I truely am. I wish there was something I could do. Catie inspired me to do so much and to live my life to the absolute fullest. My basketball team has dedicated our past game to Catie and we hope she enjoyed it. Remember that you will always have a special, perfect, beautiful, little angel watching over you now and forever more, until you are re-united with her in Heaven. -Annoymous-
Kevin O'Brian Family I'm sorry to hear about Catie passing, but how wonderful to know she is with our Lord.You and your family will be in my prayers. may God be with you now and aways. Danny Bolin
Dear Christine, Kevin, Maggie, Max, Mia, Molly and M.E. You and Catie have been in my thoughts this entire weekend and my heart goes out to you all at this very sad time. It has been an honor to share this journey with you and I have loved getting to know each and every one of you. I hope in some small way that I helped to brighten yours and Catie's days. It was fun to send her packages and I know I will always think of Catie every time I see An American Girl doll or book! And, I will always cherish the St. Jude heart ornament from Catie which will hang in a special spot on my tree every year. While some of us only knew Catie for a short time, you were so lucky to have this special angel with you for almost 8 years. I know she is now watching over you all , no longer in pain and with that sweet smile of hers. Love, Pat
May the Lord give you his peace. I wish you all the love and care in the world. Catie has changed so many peoples lives and I know she is watching us all right now with a beautiful smile. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing her story into my house each and every day. I feel so lucky to have been blessed to know you. I am sure you already know she was an angel the day she was born and God had a plan for her that no one could ever imagine...she truly is an angel now. God Bless You SO MUCH May the Lord give you his PEACE and LOVE --jeff braconnier
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Your beautiful Catie holds the hand of Our Lady until she can hold yours again. We are praying for you all. The Heils
Hi Catie's familiy. Our family is praying for your family during this sorrowful time. We will miss Catie and her story. We drew so much strength from this little angel and the love she shared. We also want to thank you for your faith filled witness to the Catholic faith. It was so pure and so truthful. Our calendar shows that January 25th is the feast day of the Conversion of Saint Paul, the Apostle. It is also the year of St. Paul. I was just pondering how fitting it is that the Lord should call Catie home on this day. Her story has brought so many people closer to God. If her story is published (I did hear that someone has contacted a publisher already) she'll continue to bring more people to God. What a legacy. What a little saint........... God bless you all ... Joan, Mark and Patrick Zadroga
Dear O'Brien Family, Thank you for sharing your story. Your faith and love has touched so very many. Your journey has been inspiring. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers as you continue your journey. I have no doubt that Catie's legacy will live on...what an *** angel!!
I am praying for your family for strenght and courage in this most difficult time. Catie is now playing with all the other angels that went before her including her sister. NO more pain and COMPLETELY healed. May God Bless you all. C.O.L.E. Prayer Team www.colesfoundation.com
As my heart aches and the tears flow, I know Catie is in God's embrace and cancer free. I know our loving God, Catie and Gianna will be with you always and will give you all the love, strength and peace you need. I can only imagine how beautiful heaven is each time our precious Lord brings one of his children home. You all in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Catie is truly looking down on all of you from heaven as she smiles, sings and dances with the angels. She is with her family that went before her and her sister, completely pain free, and awaiting the day when she can be reunited with each of you. God bless you for sharing Catie's Story. What a difference she has made for so many people. How many people can claim that over the course of their entire lives? You will be in my prayers.
Dear Christine, Kevin, and Fab 5: May the Lord give you the strength to bear the cross he is asking you to carry .... May your tears of love purify you and help you to be grateful to God for the greatness of the gift of Catie. I just want you to know that all the students, faculty and staff at Waldron Mercy Academy have been praying for Catie and all of you. Today we prayed over the loud speaker very especially for you since Catie is fully ALIVE, while you are still growing in the Mystery. My love and continued prayers. Sister Kathleen Anne McKee, RSM
Kevin, Christine, and the Fab 5, I am so sorry for you loss. Catie was truly an inspiration. Thank you for sharing her story. My prayers are with all of you . God Bless.
Dear Catie's family, I learned of your journey on Mary Kate's site, and I offer my heart felt sympathies to you all. Your *** strength and ability to praise God during such a diificult time is evidence of your God-given faith. I pray for His continued strength and grace as you face the coming days. Catie was truly blessed by her earthly family, as I am sure she blessed you all. Love, Carla Cruce
Thinking of you.
I knew KC when I lived in PA and went to St. Janes church. I'm praying that you all know God's love and comfort during these times. Hannah-Paintsville KY
Although i only recently heard about Catie on Plurk & SQPN Daily Breakfast I feel so sad as i parent that would be the hardest thing to happen.
As little Sydney sported her "turquoise" hat to church on Sunday in remembrance of Catie, we could feel Catie smiling down upon us from up above. She will always be a wonderful inspiration. May you find peace and comfort in knowing how many people she has touched. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel. We love you very much and your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Hugs and many prayers to you during this difficult time in your lives. Thank you for your strength and courage. And most importantly, thank you for your great testimonial of faith in our Lord. God bless you.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. I have been following Catie's Story and it has touched my heart deeply as well as many others. She was an *** girl. Please accept my condolences.
I never had the honor to meet Catie or anyone from your family. I work for Pepsi in West Virginia and was visiting with Rite Aid (Mary Chema, Dianne Mummart and Michael Thompson) 2 weeks ago. At lunch, they shared Catie's story. I went to the website that night and read each day's entry. So moved by her story, it was the first thing I did when I arrived at work. In this crazy world we live in, where we 'sweat the small things', I cannot count the numerous times her story came to mind throughout my day. When things were stressful, I found myself thinking of Catie and saying a prayer for her. Your story is and will always be a reminder to me of God's presence in my life and others. In the end it really doesn't matter the hours your work, the promotions you get.......it's the stories that touch your life and remind you of what really is important. I began to share Catie's story with others in the office. We spoke of her at lunch, at the copier and in passing. From the moment I read Day 1 of your story....I kept thinking "this needs to be published." I just wanted you to know how Catie's story has touched the lives of so many.....even in Charleston, WV. We continue to pray for you and your wonderful family. We know God will continue to bless you as parents and your beautiful children.
We're so sorry for your loss...
