Katrina and I reconnected after 40 years! She was in my high school class and was reintroduced to me 6 years ago by a mutual friend. She was a special and very rare person and the short time we were able to be friends will never be forgotten and she will be greatly missed.

Tinker and I were childhood friends in Great Neck (Kelsey, I think you were friends with my sister, Bonnie). I remember many happy hours playing Name That Tune. As we grew up, we lost touch, but I saw Tinker briefly at the High School Reunion a few years ago, and had hoped to reconnect. Please accept my condolences at what must be a most trying time. Know that Tinker is remembered fondly. I'm sure that she will be missed by many.

Dear Kelsey & Family -- It has been a lifetime since we were neighbors in and school mates in Shaker. I remember so much time with Tinker, as I knew her. We were born only two days apart. She was a special visionary -- and a wonderful friend. It has never left me just how ahead of her time she was; she walked her own path. I was stunned to hear of her passing. My very best to you all in getting through this difficult period. I will think always of the color she brought to everything she did.

No one could laugh so well as Katrina, a real belly laugh. I am so glad that we were in touch all the years after Gear - she has a warm heart and she will stay with me for my remaining years.

Katrina was in every way a real original. She lived and breathed design and especially color, and was always full of ideas. She was a warm and thoughtful person too. Many years ago, when she visited me and my new daughter she generously brought her a sweet puppy toy. In her self-effacing, patient way, she waited for Ting to warm to her, and she was rewarded.
Katrina had a wonderful, full-bodied laugh and I will remember her that way.

I worked with Katrina at my first job and enjoyed her very much. She was always very generous and gracious. My condolences to her family.

Katrina, a beautiful woman, a beautiful smile, a beautiful laugh and the creator of beautiful art. I am fortunate to have known and worked with her once upon a time.
