Billy, Pam, John, and Mike, I happened to be searching for a friend when I came across Aunt Kate's obituary. I never signed this guest book at the time, and would like to do so now. I was so very close to aunt Kate, and she was always my "favorite" aunt. She and I thought it was so special to each have the same birthday. She never forgot to send a card and usually a phone call every April 16. She was a beautiful lady with lots of spirit. I loved to sit with her in her sunroom and listen to her talk of her childhood on the farm. Although she moved away from Sunnyside, you could tell that deep in her heart, it was always home. I miss her and Uncle Emerson so much, but will always cherish the time I had with them.
