In Katie’s memory. For every family’s future.

A life full of light.
A purpose born
of love.

We had 22 years with our daughter Katie. Years filled with laughter, adventure, determination, and a love that still shapes our lives.

Today, we carry her light forward through fentanyl education, community connection, and outreach for Mississippi’s students and families.
