Our sincere condolences to Joe, Melanie, Rachel, Stacy, Jordan, Carson, Brooke, Colton,Beau and the entire family on the loss of your loved one. We had the privilage to only know Katie for a few years, however her warm and generous personality will always stay in our hearts. Just yesterday we recalled one of Katies one liners as she was out watching one of Jordans baseball games. The words that she spoke will always bring a smile to Sharons and my face. Katie had a special husband along with loving and caring daughters and family. This showed in her love for you all. I know Katie was proud to be able to see her newest grandaughter Beau. Her loss is great but her warm and generous memories to you all will never ever be forgotten. Katie will be in your hearts forever.
