Catie passed away early this morning after a long battle with bone cancer. We are planning a viewing and funeral this Friday morning in Apex, NC, followed by a burial on Saturday at a family cemetery near Cookeville, TN. I will post more details by tomorrow when the plans are finalized.
In the meantime, if any of you have special memories of Catie that you would like to share, would you please send them to cstubben@gmail.com? Thank you.

My condolences to you and your family, Steve. We love you and pray for you. We know Catie is in a place without pain or suffering. My brother passed 5 years ago from Leukemia and know that he is doing great work on the other side...the same as Catie will be doing.
Steve,
you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We are so sorry for your loss.
Love,

Steve,
I can only echo the comments already posted. You and your family have been and will continue to be in our prayers. Catie will always have a special place in my heart as a dear college neighbor who exemplified the love of our Savior and drew people to her because of this love. May you continue to feel that love through this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your beautiful family.
Steve-
my sincerest sympathies at this difficult time. While I can't possibly fathom what it is like to lose a spouse. We lost our second son a couple years ago so in some way I can appreciate some of what you may be experiencing.
with love and concern.

We just want you to know that we are thinking about your family! We are so very sorry to hear of Catie's passing. With Love, Andy & Charis (Call)
Dear Stubben Family,
My name is Marty Rudd and I'm Tisha Calhoun's mom. I wanted to write to express my condolences to your family. Tisha has been so blessed to have Catie be a part of her life. I also had the opportunity to meet Catie and feel of her amazing spirit. She truly had a great outlook on life.
My favorite memory involving your family; I came to Apex to visit the Calhoun's in October of 2008. The first night I was there Adley offered the family prayer and blessed the Stubben's. His sweet, 3year old, innocence touched my heart because of his love and concern for your family.
You are in our prayers. Love, Marty
Steve - We are so sorry to hear the news of your sweet Catie's passing. Please know that there are many prayers being sent heavenward on your behalf- ours included. We are thinking of you and your family at this time and sending our love.....
Love Brian and Debra Storm
Steve,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
