Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you all as Katy walks with God with only smiles, not tears and free of anymore pain. Katy was truly a "Lady" who spread her love to so many people including our daughter Jennifer. Katy touched her life in a very special way and now as they meet again they will have that same love to share once again. God Bless you Katy.

Dear cousins, family and friends, How can I express my love and appreciation for such a beautiful servant and woman of God. One who made the best tortillas in all the world. Growing up she was like a second mother to me. My husband will never forget when he first met her and how she greeted him with her sweet spirit. How she hugged him and welcomed him to the family. We loved her so much, we named our last child after her. May the Lord comfort you all, until the day when we see her face to face again in our heavenly home.
