Delaware friends shocked by death in Cape blaze

To the editor:

We in the Dover community, particularly Vicky Shockley's former coworkers, are truly shocked at the tragic death of her daughter, Katrina Krumrie, in a Cape Girardeau house fire.

Katrina was a beautiful girl who loved ballet as a child and could have had a career as a ballerina. Not a "Nutcracker" rendition passed without Trina being one of the best dancers. We will always remember her beauty and grace. She was a shining star.

We cannot help but wonder why she was taken so soon under these tragic circumstances. We feel Vicky's pain and are praying that our merciful God will strengthen the family in these difficult times. We send much love their way.
