Hi Katie,
Sorry to hear that you lost your camera & pictures. But
that's life, ups & downs. You can probably get similar
pictures from your friends when you get back home. Glad to
hear you are well & having a great time. I'm at your house
and saw all the pictures of you in the internet. Your dad
gave me copies of all the messages to you. I'm anxious to
see all your pictures and hear about your trip. Love, G'pa.

Hey Sweetie,
Majorly missing you,found a couple more pics of you
on website,that helps.Mostly helps seeing the pictures of
our Pope's face on the screen and realizing what a wonderful
experience you are having.I'm sure you've heard about those
poor Russian men trapped in their submarine,say some special
prayers for them while you are there.You are part of such a
great event honey,wish I could be there sharing it with you.
Keeping very busy with projects aroung here. Still
working on redoing our bedroon.Spent HOURS yesterday moving
all my albums into your room,went through them all,scotch
taping and repairing,then alpabitizing them before putting
them back into cases.Sorry but did not come across the
Meatloaf album you are looking for.Taped "Survivor" for you
last night. Next Wednesday 2HOUR finale!!So glad you'll be
back to watch it with us. Love You, xoxo

Hi Katie: All the pictures are so great!! I can't believe
all the cool churches you are getting to go to. And we thought
San Juan Capistrano was cool. I saw you in another group shot
for Day 13 in front of St. Francis. I'm going to email your
mom now to tell her. Finally good food it sound like. Hope
you and your friends are having a blast. Trip is almost over.
Keep taking pictures. We miss you here and can't wait for you
to come home. Enjoy your last days there. Rome should be pretty
crowded so stay safe and close to everyone!!! Love you.

Hey Katie! Saw the group shot of all of you. Your mom called to
tell us it was out there. Yeah! We've been reading the notes
and watching all the movies & looking at pictures. Everyone is
doing a great job making us wish we were there!! You have a
great time sweeti and enjoy everything. Rome should be fab.
PS. My boss just got back from England Sunday and he said there
were hundreds of teens by his hotel getting on busses on
their way to Rome. I told him why and that you were there

Hi honey,
Been trying to send you a message this 5:30 this morn, trying once more
before bed. Wanted to let you that
Jane e-"MAILED" me and dad talked to her for over a half an hour and your
great-grandma seems fully recovered
from her recent illness. They said she sounds good, is up playing cards and
feeling "chipper". Say special prayers
for her while you are there with our Pope that her health will remain strong
during her 104th year!
You've gotten more college mail and your letterbox version of "Badlands"
arrived.I wanted to watch it but Chuck
said he wanted to wait to see it with you.Taped you "Survivor" tonight. You lost
on your e-bay auction. Patches,
Gidget,& Ladybug all fine. Suki wanders around some meowing looking for you.We
all miss you,especially me, and
if one more person tells me I better get used to it for when you go off to
college I'm not letting you go anymore! (just kidding)
kidding).
I've been calling grandpa and your dad daily to keep them up to date and
trying to help your dad with seeing
the website .It is so nice of St.Theresa's group to have it, but we hope to see
some pics of your St.Francis group
too so don't be camera shy. All your Wisconsin relatives etc are tuned in. We
are all so pleased to have you there
for this special experience. Enjoy every moment of it! You are in all our
thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Mom & Chuck
