We are so very sorry for the loss of your Mom but can’t begin to tell you how happy we are that she is at rest. These last years have been so sad-not the way any of us want to end our lives and certainly not Kate. Please know we care and will hopefully be able to touch base with you all this summer. Our love to you-Doug and Su Wolrab
Jan and family, I’m so sorry for your loss…..how well I remember Kathryn….the hours and hours I spent at your place in Mt. Vernon…..those were the good old times. She has lived a great life and was a wonderful lady. I always enjoyed our visits. I know you all have great memories of her as I do, hold them close and remember her with love. My sympathy, Annamae
