I’m so sorry. For your loss. I am so happy that I had the privilege of meeting her. She was such a cadet and nice person. My love and prayers are with you and the family.
Trinity View lost a beautiful woman with a infectious smile. Her faith was so beautiful and her caring and loving personality will be missed.
Very sorry to hear of Katherine’s passing, you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Katherine sure was a lot of fun at the family reunions, it seemed she and I always ended up
washing the dishes together. Much love Nan.
