In Memory of Katie Strunk

Many of you knew Katie Strunk. She lost her life yesterday in the tornado that hit Enterprise High School. We were made aware of this late yesterday afternoon, but didn't feel we should announce it on this blog or send a mass email until the School Administration had the chance to announce it to the kids today and send out an email.

Katie played clarinet in the ACA Marching Band and Symphonic Band. Katie always had a smile on her face and was a pleasant child to be around! She will be sorely missed.

Katie's funeral will be at 3:00 p.m. on Monday, March 5th. They are dismissing any High School students at noon that want to attend her funeral. The viewing is at 1:00 p.m. (Due to this tragedy, the band photo that was to be taken on Monday has been cancelled).

Dirk and Kathy Strunk need our help. They did not have any kind of life insurance on Katie and have no money for the burial. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

The donations are to be sent to:
College Avenue Church of Christ (where the funeral will be)
211 W. College Avenue
(or use the P.O. Box 311740)
Enterprise, AL 36330
Phone: (334) 347-8917

Please designate for "Katie Strunk funeral" and help get the word out to as many people as possible. Every little bit helps. If you are unable to donate, please continue to keep this family in your prayers.
