I am sorry to hear of your loss. Katy was a beloved friend of mine. I visited your home and have warm memories of those visits. She was someone I grew to love and held in the highest esteem. Katy had a soul without borders, and always conducted herself with dignity. I admired her talents ranging from playing the 12-string guitar to embroidering her 70-ish gauze shirts. I was envious of her gorgeous, curly hair. We shared a passion for John Denver and Gordon Lightfoot. Katy adored her brother John, and talked of him often, with great affection. I've missed her very much since she passed. I named my first daughter, Kathryn (Katy), now 14, after your Katy; she's always been with me in spirit. I know your loss in the present is her father, but Katy is part of him; I didn't have the opportunity to say these things to you when she passed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sorry to read of the passing away of Don. I enjoyed his fellowship in the Die Shop at 3M. He enjoyed the good things in life.
