My condolences to the Keller family. My mother is a resident at Rykers and loved Katie's fun personality. She's was always ready to try a new craft that usually made a giant mess, but she'd just laugh. She put a lot of smiles on Moms face. Thanks Katie for the kindness you shared with people many generations apart. God bless!
