Dear Robina, so sorry we couldn't be there, but thank you for sharing a guest book: it's how I remember Katherine and always will. I have so so so many fond memories of her and how much fun we had teasing her and my mom about their adoration for the boys. Sending much love and prayers your way.

Robin and Rich and Families, I can't tell you what a large and important influence your Mom (and Dad) were on our lives growing up. First class people with huge hearts and overwhelming senses of dignity and pride. Trish and I loved them both. May the good memories, and there are so many of them, carry you all through the next days and weeks ahead. I'd like to think your folks and mine are together right now, welcoming Mrs. Ross to her new home. Love you guys, so sorry we cannot be there in person Saturday, Don and Trish Ivansek and Family. (ps, great pictures!)

Robin, I wanted to go to the wake, but there was no date. My prayers are with you and your family. Everytime I make my knot cookies, I think of your mom and how much she loved them. She was a sweet lady with a lovely smile and great laugh. I loved her.

What a great photo of your Mom. She was such a lovely lady. I remember her sitting at little league games all bundled up and I remember
so clearly her sitting at you kitchen table laughing about one thing or another. Robin you gave her so much of your time and care these last few years - I am sure she greatly appreciated that. We sure will miss "YaYa"
