To Aunt Kate's family; may your guardian angels surround you in their wings and give you all strength at this very sad time. Aunt Kate will be dearly missed by all who knew her. She aways appeared so lady like and quiet...but...we all knew who really ran the abode on Center Street! I'm sure she is bending Uncle Pete's ear right now! Much love to all. Jo
