Dear Don and Karla,
We are disappointed and sorry that we were not at the service today. We had planned on being there but circumstances prevented it. So we joined online. It was a beautiful service and certainly captured Katherine’s love for others and her zest for life. She was a beautiful girl and I know you loved her dearly.
We have always loved and admired your family and we are praying for strength and comfort for all of you.
With love and prayers,
Lyle and Judy
