Kathleen Darrow

My thoughts and love are sent across the miles today to you, Sherry, Darby, Mary and your families..I am grateful for the years of memories my family and I have of visiting with Katie in Mackinaw City, as well as Thunder Bay and Ottawa..I never imagined that we wouldn't have that next visit, or next phone call, or next Christmas card. Katie was generous in spirit and love of family and friends..that memory will live on in all who knew her..and she will be missed.

Those who love us never go away. May all the sweet memories of Grandma Katie bring you comfort during this time. I know she was well respected and dearly loved. She had great character and a big heart. I will never forget her kindness especially when she would treat Elizabeth and I too dinner (like in the picture here, at the Dam Site Inn) or when she gave us a fun night at the Grand Hotel as a high school graduation gift (us at Grand Hotel pictured below). Elizabeth and I thought that trip to Mackinac Island was the coolest thing ever. I'm also very appreciative of her for sharing her passion for travel with Elizabeth. I honestly believe because of those trips Elizabeth caught the travel bug and as a result she's now my travel buddy and always comes to visit me no matter where I am (now even Kate joins too). For that I am truly grateful. Lastly, I loved stopping by her home in Mackinaw and seeing all the pictures of your family from over the years, she loved you all so much. Sending lots of love to the Darrow Family, I wish I could be there with you. Love Always, Rachel Fernelius

I was blessed to know Katie for a few years. We met here in Ft Myers and became fast friends. We had lots of wonderful conversations & laughs. Then I visited MI and got to see her in her hometown surroundings. Darby gave me and my sister a tour and I loved hearing Katie's memories along the way. She was special and I will miss her. Love, Sharon

I have known Katie since I was a young child and just came to know her as family. Going to see Katie was always one of the highlights for my wife and I when in Mackinac. Katie will be missed. A kind, wonderful lady. Our condolences to the family. Buzz and Cathy Bauers

Meeting and becoming Katie's friend has been our honor. A very special lady who was loved by so many. To her family and all who knew Katie we should all cherish her as a blessing in our lives. Love, Harry & Noreen
