Katherine was a wonderful lady and new friend. She helped me with my first book signing event for Chapters Pre-Loved Books for local authors. She was a huge inspiration to me and I will miss her so much.

Katherine and Elden were remarkable people and great influences on my art experience at the Leech Studio and Gallery in Sarasota. Katherine was also a marvelous writer and her book about their life together is delightful. She will be missed.

Katherine was kind enough to research our relatives to find we were related through my great- grandfather after we had met Kathy as our tour guide in Alaska. Our condolences to the family.

Elden and Katherine always offered me encouragement and practical assistance in my educational endeavors. Katherine was so full of adventure and a love for keeping up with the times; I always enjoyed our meetings whether face-to-face or online. I will miss her deeply. My sincere sympathy to her family members.

Katherine always gave me encouragement to work along on projects. She had done so much. Our Western Shaker Study Group loved her leadership when she was the program chair. Each meeting was better than we anticipated! Our deepest sympathy to each of the family members.
