Dear Bill,

So sorry to hear about Katherine. What a special person she was here and now she is in the best place ever: Heaven!!!!

Stan and I learned about Katherine through Margaret Perkins. Would you believe Stan reads the Globe daily including the obits and he totally missed the entry. We would have been at the wake if we had paid attention.

May you be comforted by your family during your time of loss. Please accept our sympathy.

We'd like to get in touch....no longer have your address. Perhaps you have a computer so our e-mail address is included.

Love,

Stan and Mary Ann
