Preston, my husband Rick and I were stunned to learn of Katie's recent and sudden passing. She worked for us off and on for several years and we truly enjoyed her company. She was funny, smart and hard working. We trusted her implicitly. No words can truly express how sorry we are for your loss. Please accept our most sincere condolences.
