I am very griefed to hear that Kati is no longer on this earth. As a vendor to the gift shop that Kati managed, I enjoyed working with her and her visits to my showroom. I found her pleasant to work with and look forward to building business with her. I saw that she was a genuine person! Happy, loving , and fun. Iwill miss her , too!
I have losed a family member in the bloom of her life, as well, some years ago. I will be praying that Kati's husband and daughter will be comforted and be content at this time and in the future. It is really hard, but there is healing eventually.

Kati was a sweet and kind hearted person with many wonderful qualities. I will always remember her words of Encouragement when I left our job of employment. I will miss her and my love is with her family-

With love and sympathy for Tom and Maarit, Barbara and Ruth, please accept this sad goodbye to a good friend and cousin.

With a quick smile and a hug, she always made us warm and welcome. The meals we shared, the wine we savored, the "Rock the River" cruise, and general fellowship are fond memories Lois and I will always treasure. She leaves an incredible void.
