My deepest sympathy goes out to Patty Ann, Bill and the Chickos and Tarquinio families. Aunt Kate was a great woman and a cherished family member. Having grown up in Groveton, it would be impossible not to have many fond childhood memories of her. I wish I could join you on Thursday to celebrate her life. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
