Katie was truly a sweet and wonderful lady. I know she will be greatly missed. God bless Ron and their family…
My heart and prayers go out to Katie’s family. I am so very sorry for your loss.
We are simply heartbroken. Words cannot adequately express our grief and sorrow. Katie was a bright light in the lives of all who knew her. We will sorely miss her and will treasure the memories we had of this wonderful woman. Wishing Ron and the boys grace and peace as you deal with your loss. With deepest sympathy,
