Dear George, Luisa, and Olifer Family members: Bob and I are very sorry about Kate's passing. I really liked Kate very much. Every time I saw her we would have nice conversations. She was a pleasure to know and I am going to miss her very much. I wish you peace in these sad times and I wish Kate peace in heaven. Love always, Sue and Bob Edgerton
