My condolences goes out to the Traverso family through this very difficult time. I didn’t really talk to Katie in highschool but she was a sweet girl. I can’t begin to imagine what you are going through at this time. I lost a friend almost 3 months ago and it was the hardest thing ever. Just stay strong and know she’s watching over your family up in Heaven.

My condolences to the Traverso family during this tragedy. Katie was a best friend of mine, she meant the world to me, we shared so many many memorable moments. She came into my life during a bad time and made everything better. You were such a large part of my life, I’d do anything for you. She loved her family more than anything in the world. She was always happiest around them. Katie was far beyond words to describe. I promise to live everyday for both of us. You will always be apart of me. You were the greatest of best friends anyone could ever dream of and I miss her every second of every moment. Katelyn would want you to smile and embrace the beauty of life as she did. She is our guardian angel and her spirit will always be present. I will always be here for your family. My love goes out to all.
xoxoxo Love always, Kat

My beautiful girl, Miss Katie Traverso. I honestly do not know where to begin. I have known you for a long time now. You have done nothing but give me hope for what I plan on doing in the future. Every time I was with you there was nothing but smiles, laughter and just pure craziness!! but that is what everybody loved about you. We now have lost one of the greatest and most perfect ladies out there but Heaven has definitely gained another angel. My condolences go out to the Traverso family through this rough time. I never really got to meet any of you guys but there wasn’t a time when Katie did not speak of any of you. All of you were constantly on her mind and she made that very clear. Also Jamie Bates and Paula Petruccelli, we are all here for you guys and love the both of you. I know this is not easy but she will always and forever be with us and watching over us.
R.I.P My Beautiful Girl
You will never ever be forgotten

Katie will be missed by so many people, and since I am in university now at a small school, there’s people here who are mourning her loss together. I hope you find some comfort in knowing she touched many people in many ways. I knew Katie in highschool in Oakville and she was always the brightest smile in the room and made everyone feel welcome. I will miss Katie so much

Rob, Sharon and Family,
I have very fond memories of your much younger family dining together at Charley Fitzwhiskey’s when Rob and I worked together.
The thing that resonates with me the most was the closeness and obvious love being shared amonst the Traverso family.
Nothing I can say will ease your pain in this time of grief, but I do believe that those tight family ties will help to see you through.
The world is full of suffering.
It is also full of overcoming.

Rob, Sharon, Amber, Jade & Luke,
I am so very sorry to hear this very sad news. Katie was a star to everyone that had the pleasure of meeting her and that will never change. During my time around the Traverso household she was always considered a little sister to me and even though I wasn’t always there to say it I could not be more proud of her! I hope that in this time of pain you can find a bit of happiness knowing what a great person she has become. I am deeply sorry I can not make it to the service as I am out of Province Friday-Monday but I will be thinking of all of you often.
All my Love,
Dave
Valerie and Paul Trimble and family
We are shocked and saddened by the loss of such a wonderful girl. We have known Katie since she was a little girl. She was always eager to be a star! She was sweet, responsible and adored her family and friends. She was raised with love and support and she in turn gave her love and support to her friends and family. She possessed a smile radiant like the sun and a spirit that captivated.
She will be the sweetest angel in Heaven. Lord, please take care of her and tell her that we will think of her often and will never forget her joyous, sweet personality! Katie you always were a STAR!
Kim Nixon
Dearest Sharon, Rob, Amber, Jade, Luke and Noah

Love you all very much,

I will always remember Katelyn in elementary school while volunteering at the snack program. She was always so kind and polite. Her love for animals was passionate. Remembering the excitement on her face when she told me she was getting 2 little Yorkies.
May you hold all the good memories in your heart, look at how fortunate you were to have her in your life. She was a very determined person and that trend runs from family love and support.!
.She was never one to judge people and she always showed compassion and care.

She was loved by so many. I feel very honoured to have known her. May she rest in eternal peace. Love you Katie…..
Juan Useche
I met Katie when I first came to Canada, even though I struggled with the language, she was one of the first persons I spoke to at school. She was always nice, kind and polite to people and would always greet everyone with a smile on her face. It saddens me that we didn’t stay in contact, but as time went by, I noticed that she had so many friends and was loved by so many people, which didn’t surprise me, because I had seen through my own eyes how good of a person she was. My condolences go to the Traverso family, Katelyn was one of the nicest persons I have met throughout my life, and I think everyone who met her would tell you the same.
I will keep her in my prayers.
Rest in Peace Katie.

My condolences goes out to the Traverso family and all her beloved friends. You will be truly missed. :'(
I had the previllege of meeting Katie last year when she contacted me to be a part of my Toronto International Swimsuit Calendar. Yanki Yuksel and I went to pick her up at a friends house in Oakville. She was so full of life and had this special pressence about her. We shot some amazing pictures that day at Hamilton Falls.
Katie you touched many peoples lives in your short time. I know you will be looking down on us and I wait to the day that we meet again. Thank-you for being special and always full of life. You will truly be missed.
I know you contacted me last week regarding the pictures you wanted edited. I will dedicate a spot for you in my upcoming Toronto International Swimsuit Calendar. I leave it up to your parents if they want you to be in it. I know you was excited about being a part of it.
Katie I love you from the deepest part of my heart. I know we didnt spend that much time together but you really had an impact on me and many others. I know your at peace now. I will never forget that ever so loving smile of yours, as well as your natural beauty. See you in heaven!

My condolences to the family and friends. I had not known her for long but she was a huge impact in my life, more than anyone can understand. That was her gift – to make a mark on peoples’ lives. An Angel lost on earth is an Angel gained in the Heavens. She was a light in the world to let us know that life is more than what it seems. I thank God she was in my life even for a little bit of time.
You will be missed Katie, you will be missed. Much love.
Cory Clements.

My deepest condolences to the Traverso family. It’s always devastating to lose a family member, especially one as wonderful and loving as Katie. I first met Katie in grade nine.. She was always nice to me and every time I saw her in the hallway she had a smile on her face. She is one of the most beautiful people I have ever met, inside and out. R.I.P Katie, the most beautiful angel in heaven.
Ward (Dan) Graham
I’ve known Katie since 2007 and I met her through my mate Jeremy. Later we became friends when she was with Jamie. I grew to love her like a sister, and since she’s been gone there is nothing that can fill the void she left. When I had doubts about coming to Australia for a year, she encouraged me and helped me make the decision to come. It saddens me the last time i saw her was for my 20th birthday in September but i know she would want me to push on through these trials and tribulations and learn from it. Katie was truly an inspiration to me and she will live on in my heart and memories. Deepest sympathy and condolences to the Traverso family, I know from how much she loved you this must be devastating. Also my deepest apologies for not being able to make it from Australia. My mother will come in my place because she knew Katie just as well from me, my friends and her co-workers. I hope the flowers i sent will make it in time.Here is a poem i found that helped me and i hope it will help who ever reads it.
“Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.”
Much Love and sincerest apologies,
Ward Daniel Graham

I didn’t know Katie very well. However, I do remember doing her hair at Cabelo.

I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I will be praying for her and for the family she has left behind.
Rest In Peace Sweetie.

I had the pleasure of meeting Katie first in grade 9, where we took the same bus to school. She always was so excited to ask how everyone elses day went, and all the new gossip we had heard. When she moved to Oakville, we had lost touch but recently reconnected when she moved back to Orangeville. I remember the first time seeing her after all those years at Prom and she just came up and gave me the biggest hug and said how much she missed me and wondering what was new in my life. It was like she had never moved away. She told me all her aspirations of becoming a model, and I was so happy for her. She came into my work Bonnie Togs a few months ago, and gave me the biggest hug. I wish I had known that would be the last hug from such a beautiful girl. My fondest memory I have of her, is when we were all at a friends house this past year, and she was just so wild and crazy, she put on ski goggles and put a timbit half in her mouth and started posing for pictures <3 it was the cutest thing ever. The last time we talked was a few weeks ago when she was wondering who my eye doctor was because she wanted to get Lasik eye surgery..I wish I could have just talked to her one more time but I know she is happy up there. She would want us all to be happy and celebrate the good times in her life. Katie will be an inspiration for myself and others to live your life to the fullest, and to dream big.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Traverso family and everyone else who was touched by Katie.

My condolences are with Katie’s family and friends. I was lucky enough to have been touched by Katie during the CHIN bikini competition, I loved spending my rehearsals with her.

May you take comfort in knowing a beautiful angel is watching over you.
No amount of words can begin to express my sorrow. I remember Katelyn as a little girl coming in and waiting for her big sisters to finish work… she grew up so fast and accomplished so much so quickly, a cute little girl to a beautiful woman in what seemed like a matter of seconds.
Amber & Jade – Katelyn adored you, and she could not have asked for better big sisters, or a better family for that matter.
May your memories to give you strength
Much love & many prayers to the entire family,
Katie –You’ve touched a lot of hearts, Rest in Peace beautiful xO

I would like to say I am so sorry for your lost. Katie and I were in the same Geography class in grade 11 at westside. I knew her for a while but by the end we were friends. she was friends with everyone. I ran into her some time last year and we exchanged numbers. and now she is gone and I feel so bad about it. I miss Katie all day everyday but I know if I keep her in my heart she is always around.

So sorry for your loss. She looked like a wonderful girl. She had such a wonderful life and wished she had more of it. Such a promising future and gorgeous model. RIP Angel.
Annie Leonard
Although I did not know Katie personally, my daughter Katie Zemeckas spoke very highly of her. I believe that they knew each other from Thomas A. Blakelock High School and through Jack Boland at the Toronto Sun. My Katie had a Toronto Sun photo shoot right after your daughter this summer. They hadn’t seen each other in a long time and “caught up” in the lobby of the Sun building. I know that they often chatted on Facebook.
On behalf of Katie and myself, I want to express our deepest sympathies. God Bless the Traverso family.

My prayers and deepest sympathies go out to you and the entire family. I could not believe it when my son Thomas Abela told me the sad news about Katie. Words just cant say enough how tragic this is. The video is absoutely beautiful of Katie….

My sympathy and prayers go out to the family of Katie. I did not personally know her, but can see from the video and hearing people speak of her that she was a very energetic, beautiful young woman with a loving, caring family.
I too have lost a child, so although I don’t know how you feel, as every family dynamic is unique, I do understand the pain and anguish you are experiencing now.
I pray, for you, that in the future you will find some comfort in the wonderful memories you have of your Beautiful Daughter.
In deepest thoughts and prayers,

I didn’t know Katie, while at the CNE grounds I saw her memorial and from that I have looked her up online. I have read some of the remembrances above, so many speak of how huge her spirit, her zest for life was. What was it that compelled me to follow up after seeing her memorial? She sounds like a lovely girl, perhaps heaven just isn’t big enough to hold all that amazing spirit, perhaps that’s what urged me to follow up. Tuesday will be her birthday, Tuesday is also my birthday. I just thought you might like to know that Katie touches people even still.

My thoughts, prayers ,condolences, and many hugs go to the Traverso family, especially to mom, Sharon. I just found out today about Katie’s passing. I am heart stricken. Katie and I shared alot of tears, and alot of smiles and giggles together. I will never forget you my beautiful “sister”, you’ll be forever in my heart. I’ll be looking for you tonight, you will be the brightest star in the sky!! R.I.P beautiful . xoxox <3
