I have so many great memories of Katherine and her family. I loved to hear her talk with her Texas accent and her way of saying things just so. She was a classy lady and I am so glad she was in our lives. I hope your memories will bring you some peace and I know Fred, Katherine and my dad Tom will be telling some big ones in heaven. Love to all Muggie and Gracie.
