Joanne M. Katzman

Dear Donnie and children We are so sorry. Your mama and daddy are both true Angels. They are a match made in heaven. Mama will always be your angel and daddy will be your knight in shining armor. I have known him since we were a young 18 years old. He was the first boy I met at Hanover College and I am proud to say my dearest friend for life. Please accept my love and prayers.

Mr. Katzman I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your wife. I went to Ballard in the early 90's and remember her very well. She always had a smile on her face and was full of joy. She would go out of her way to help students out if they needed if by just lending a ear or giving great advice. My prayers and sympathy go out to you and your family, as you know she was a very special human being and such a blessing to many people! I'm thankful that the lord gave us such a beautiful person...

To all of Joanne's family: I am so sorry for your loss! I was an AOII with Joanne at WKU for two years and I think we lived on the AOII floor together for about three semesters. I really enjoyed spendng time on the floor with Joanne because she was always such a warm, friendly, upbeat person. You are all so fortunate to have had her in your family. Anne and Maria: the last time I talked to Joanne, it was obvious she was so proud of both of you!

Donnie, all of your raquetball friends, Old Phil, New Phil, Old Tom, Sponge Bill, Bryan, Tim, Jim, etc. are sorry for your loss and have you and your family in our prayers. When you can come back and beat us in a game. We miss you.

Donnie, Annie & Maria,
May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. You ALL are in my prayers.

So sorry for your loss. Joanne ALWAYS had a big smile to greet me. I will miss her, and our conversations about good books.

Donnie, We were so sorry to hear about Joanne...You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Donnie, My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you & your family. Heaven is most definately celebrating the arrival of a good soul. You & the girls are in my prayers.
