I loved seeing the pictures of your mom and dad in the early days! And, the pictures of you as a child. So sweet. I have great memories of your mom being at your house and involved in so many of our escapades. She was always very sweet to our family.

Aunt Katie was a attractive vivacious lady all her days. She loved being with people and was very social, enjoyed visiting and laughing. She had a stunning smile that warmed my heart. She was one of my support people throughout my life and I will always praise God for allowing her life to touch mine. We had a lot of fun times! Prayers for her whole family are being lifted up to God this day and future days to come. Till we meet again Katie in Heaven
