Not sure what to say?

To my special friend Katie, you will be greatly missed. We had such good times together. You were a very special friend to us all. Thier aren't very many people out there like you, except your best friend Mary who helped you so much. God will be with you now and your family so I know you are happy now. God Bless!

To the Catherine "Katie" O'Brien Family: We are so sorry for your loss. May the many memories you have help ease your sorrow. She was a great friend to all of us and will be greatly missed.

We will also miss her great smile and sense of humor. She was a special lady and such a pleasure to have known.

May God be with you all and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Love

"Katie" was a great lady, always with a ready smile and soft words. Katie was one of many families who made us feel welcome when we moved to Pawnee in 1975.May God Bless her for her kindness and love of God.

Aunt Katie was such a special person to all of us. We had so much fun at 711 W. Monroe, Kappa, and 418 Summit in Joliet. I know there is such a big party in heaven because the family all loved being together. I will always cherish the love and affection she she showed me.

I was sorry to see that Katie had passed away. I worked with Katie 20+ years ago and enjoyed her so much. She was a special lady. Whenever I think of Katie, I see her smile and the twinkle in her eye. I was fortunate to have known her.

I am so sorry to hear of Katies passing...She was a treasure to our family for many years...(The McCarts, Haberkorns and Sheedys)..I will always remember her smiles and happy ways with always a positive outlook...She is at rest with her Lord and family...God Bless you, Katie...

We were so sorry to hear of Kate's passing.I grew up across the street from Kate & Ann as a child. What great neighbors they both were. Please find comfort knowing she is with her loved ones now. May your memories bring you comfort.

The suffering is over, and Kate is in the arms of those family members who have preceded her, some so long ago! I can't help but imagine the reunion she is having with all of them now. (It takes the tears away to kmow she is right where she belongs.)
She taught me to 'laugh' whenever possible which usually makes things so much better. What a blessing it was to know her!

Kate was a wonderful friend to my dad's family. She would always stop by to visit the Minder's when we were down for a cookout at my aunt's house, or come to Springfield to share in celebrations or holidays with us. She always had a smile and laugh to share, and was always interested to know how we were since the last time we visited. I will miss her very much, as will my family. She was a great lady!
