Katherine was a wonderful friend and next-door- neighbor. I have great memories of visiting with her and hearing stories about her life. She was especially proud of her children and her grand-daughter Katie's dance talents. My heart goes out to Shirley and Becky in this great time of loss. Your Mom is in a better place and is waiting for you. It's good to have an "angel" watching in the wings. Your Mom truly was one. She will be missed by all that knew her.
