In your time of bereavement, I wish to extend the condolences of my family and I to yours doing this time of mourning. Katie has put off her corruptible body for her incorruptible to be with Jesus. She lives on in our memory. Just think of all the beautiful memories we have of her. Louis Stewart and family
