I enjoyed coming to visit Katherine as a homemaker. we would chat about things over coffee and one of the girls would come in. i'd end up with lunch and a cup of tea. she was happy to see me every week as so was I She made me feel like part of the family. one time i came back she was in the bathroom exposed and wondered who was at the door Ann says it's Patty and Katherine said oh that's okay. She was modest and great lady and we both listened to each of us. I will miss her. hopefully she will see my mom and tell she had a nice daughter.

Nana Mac was a wonderful lady and always had a beautiful smile on her face. I always looked forward to seeing her at Johnny and Cathy's house and enjoyed her company.

She will be missed greatly by all of us.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.
