I want to extend my sincere condolences to Aunt Katie’s family. I was somewhat shocked with her passing. I hadn’t talked with her for some time but thought she was doing OK. I was very fond of her and always thought she was a very sweet, kind and intelligent Lady. I will miss her being with us and hope she has found a better place. May she rest peacefully.
