Katie Reider Cincinnati singer/songwriter Katie Reider passed away early this morning. She was currently living in New York and undergoing treatment at Beth Israel. Two years ago Katie developed a rare tumor (Myofibroblastic Inflammatory Tumor) in her upper left jaw that progressed into her sinus, skull base and left eye orbit. In March of 2008 a dime-sized "spot" was found on her esophagus, taking away her voice and her ability to perform.
A
website was developed to raise money for her treatment and to help her family. You can still download her songs and all the money goes to her fund.
