Katie was a dear and treasured friend of ours for many years. We sincerely loved her. Our son, Mark, grew in the Lord because of her teaching him in Sunday School (Junior High age) at Calvary Baptist Church in Santa Barbara, CA. We will miss her very much, but we do know for sure that she is Home now in Heaven with her Lord and Savior. Praise His Name!
