She was such a beauty. And her picture, here, proves it. Kathryn's spirit was always up. The glass was half full, not half empty. I will miss her. Love, Marcia Day

No longer living in California, I always looked forward to my Christmas letter. I met Katheryn while working at Berg-Revoir, and remember her always bringing in the best meals for lunch, usually from what she had cooked the night before. I loved it when she had extra. It seems like over the years, she was always busy learning, either in school or traveling around the world. She appreciated the time she was given and never wasted a minute. Her Christmas letter always reflected how proud she was of her family and how much she enjoyed life. There is so much we can all learn from Katheryn, and I plan to start today. God bless your family.
