Geralyn, Mark and families,
I was so sorry to learn of your mom’s passing! She has long been a favorite of mine, with her zest for life and loving, caring nature. It has been a real treasure to have reconnected with her over the past couple of years via Facebook, and in reconnecting with her, many great memories came flooding back of the fun we had on Plum Drive! You will be in my thoughts and prayers and your mom will be sorely missed.

Our sincere sympathy to Geralyn and Mark and your families. Katy was a wonderful person.
We sang in the choir together and I usually sat next to her. She had a wonderful personality.
She will be greatly missed and our prayers are with you.

Geralyn, Mark, and Families, I’m sending my heartfelt condolences to all of you. I have so many fond memories of sweet Katy. I’ll have to say a favorite one was a lecture about song lyrics of a Paul McCartney song, she was sure they had Communist roots. I was always in awe of her amazingly organized home with never a thing out of place. ( and no chin up bar in the kitchen doorway!) Most of all, I remember her beautiful smile and kindness to me. Due to recent travel, I regret not being able to be there in person.

Katy, thank you so much for your support, your caring, and your love in the loss of my son, Josh. Thank you for your dedication to our Resurrection Choir. I truly received blessings from your dedication, your commitment, your humility, and your living your faith. You have touched me deeply and I will always hold you in my prayers and thankfulness that our lives were able to cross paths. May God bless you, Katy, and may the angels lead you into paradise, where Lazarus is poor no longer. Rest in peace, my friend. Requiem aeternam.

Katy was such a pleasure to take care of and always had kind things to say in the short time I got to know her in the nursing home. I just hope I have the kind heart like she does as I continue my nursing career.

I have great memories of both Katy and Jack while growing up on Plum Drive. Both were good friends of Mom & Dad, and they always managed to put a smile on my face. Be at peace, Katy, you and Jack are finally together again!

Many years of memories of Katie and Jack on Plum Dr. We had a great neighborhood and kept that friendship for years. I can still remember asking Mom, who is Tess? Jack would talk about Tess but I never knew he was talking about Katie. Mark and Geralyn, my sincere sympathy to you and your families. Jack and Katie together again!
