To Katie's family...My sympathies to you all. I knew Katie from St. John's in Point Place and I also worked with Katie at the candy counter at SS Kresgee's downtown when I got out of high school. She was so much fun to work with and she taught me a lot. Loved working with her. May your wonderful memories help you through this difficult time. Teresa (VanderHorst) Holder

To Katie's family...so very sorry. I did not know here well, but met her through Jim and Floss Rose at the VFW 606 Post and she was always a treat to be around, full of life. God Bless
