I think of Katherine just about every day, she & Mickey were so generous to me upon leaving Calvary Lutheran Church & School. They gave me an incredible full set of Cobalt Blue glassware. That was 20 years ago & still lovingly used!
All my love & care to Katherine´s family!!

So saddening to see that Katharine has passed. She was my former mother-in-law who thought only of giving to others. Such a beautiful woman in every sense of the word.

Mickey...how can it be that its been almost 4 years since your precious angel Katherine left us.
I have your beautiful cobalt blue glass in my hand (that you and Katherine gave to me as I left Calvary for Delaware. I thank God for you both having been in my life. As I know you and your family do when you think of your precious wife, mother, sister, friend.
I always thought of Katherine (as I know Elda Banks does too) as a Sister Chosen and Loved by God!
All my love and care and thoughts Mickey!

I was just thinking about the people in my life who have been soooo hospitable. I was thinking what would they be doing now during this quarantine. Of course they would be SERVING as usual...even from a distance. I thought of Katherine yesterday as I left an entire meal on the front porch of dear friends of mine ~ older and the wife (one of my best friends when I lived here before in Oregon) who now has Alzheimers. I can see Katherine's smile and fresh baked cookies. We love our memories of you Katherine and YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Nor for me who lives so far away now...nor your incredible husband and sons and grandsons and the rest of your family...especially your sister "across the street" who also welcomed me in in my first Easter alone! :-)
All my love and thanksgiving, Marlys-Jean Natonick :-)

We are so very sorry to hear about the passing of our beloved neighbor and friend, Katherine. Katherine welcomed us to "the court" and became one of our family members. She and Mickey even went to our daughter's school for grandparent's day. Katherine--you will be missed more than words can say.
