As a professional photographer Fritz is one of the finest artists I have met. He brings over two decades of experience, but more importantly a sense of style and vision to his art. Craftsmanship is sometimes a fading quality in an instant gratification society, but as a fellow photographer I can see the time and energy that Fritz dedicates to his clients. An exposition by Fritz photography is sure to be a treat one will not soon forget…thanks for sharing your work with us Fritz!

Wow-how moving are these words! What a life and what a woman-I am honored to have spent a short time on Earth with Katie.
JB, her laugh is something I don’t think I mentioned in my post, but it certainly was there in my memory of her. An easy smile, an easy laugh, both of which made you feel welcome. I’m pleased the photographs help you remember laughter; that is, perhaps, one of the finest compliments I’ve ever received. Thank you.
Hello Fritz:
I grew up with Katie and one of my fondest memories of her was her laugh. She had such a heart-felt laught that made you feel good when you said something funny enough to get it out of her. It is what I will miss most about her and you captured it on camera. I can hear it much clearer in my mind now. Thank you.
Hi Fritz. This is a beautiful post. I didn’t know Katie personally, but would have liked to. Katie and I had a lot of friends in common so I definitely feel like a hole has been left in my extended community. I love your sentiments as well and feel the same is true for me – the Lord has blessed me with amazing people and relationships and I will be thankful for however long or short the time I get with them is.
Thank you, Shayna. Capturing the essence of someone in a photograph is a challenge that I have always enjoyed, and I’m encouraged to know that it means so much to other people when I do so.
Thank you so much for your post and tribute. I have had one of the photos of Katie that you took on my fridge since she sent it to me at Christmas a few years ago. I thought your photos captured a Katie who was healing and whole. I love that photo. Thank you
Hi Fritz
Thanks for your very nice tribute to Katie. Thanks for being her friend.
David Nolan (Katies Dad)
Thanks, Kristi. I’d sure love to see a her gap filled by many more people like her. I’ve been praying in a similar way. May we each be one of them.
Thank you Fritz…this is so well put.
Fritz, I watched the coverage on Katie’s situation, and felt such a burden to pray. The more I find out about the kind of woman she was, the more I understand why. Without knowing any of these things about her, I felt compelled to pray that God would raise up others to fill the huge gap that will be left on this earth, due to her departure. Now I understand why.
Thank you for putting this together to honor her and the person she was.
Sincerely,
Kristi Kernal
wow, Fritz – I didn’t know her but feel the empty space she has left behind…..however, not so empty as I read your words about her. I picture her with the great cloud of witnesses that surround us challenging us to continue to run. Thanks for your words and pictures. -t
