As I'm reading this, my eyes are filled with tears. Mrs. Katauskas was a "powerhouse!" I can still picture her dancing at Sara's wedding in October. She had so much energy. Bowling at her age! And how many women would be strong enough to move across the country and start a new life when they are 87? Alice was an inspiration to so many of us. I know she will leave a huge empty space in her family's hearts. We send our love to all of you.......
