This morning I started making plans for my first volunteer night at CNS. As I went to the website to get my instructions I was saddened to learn of Katie's untimely passing. Her sincere love and affection for the forgotten men and women in Atlanta touched my heart from the first time I met her.
It will be sad not to see her on Friday night as I have many times in the past. But it will be an honor to continue the ministry that was an integral part of her life.

MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO BASHOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
July 31, 2016
Especially remembering KB on this Mother's
Day. Katie was the mother of two of the finest children we have known. Katie was also "mother", at times, to many homeless men and, I am sure, women of Atlanta.

I met Katie when I became a volunteer at the men's homeless shelter through All Saints Catholic Church. I feel privileged to have known her. When Katie looks over heaven's balcony, she'll see how many people love and miss her. Rest in peace, sweet Friend.

I taught 12 years at Fernbank Elementary School. I can not imagine the school running without her. I know the community cried about her death. I pray her family peace. Always and forever. Love, Mrs. L. B. King

Such a beautiful woman in every way -- she exemplified a life well lived in her humor, grace, and charity. She will be sorely missed.

To Mark and Jessie especially, I joined Facebook yesterday on a whim that I would finally get into the 21st century. Danny Ingram sent me what looks like a copy of what he might have posted on this site. Since opening that around 4:45, I've just prayed for you and all your family. Mary K. taught me how difficult sudden deaths can be, and I've experienced plenty of them but not of the proportion of these that you are surviving. No one can imagine what you feel, but we can pray. I have...
