Bill, Lisa, Mike, Greg, Jeff, Sean, Ryan, Tara, Cade and Keith,
I think you all know that Karen & I and Frankie, Jillie and Clay all thought the world of Katy. Even my parents thought of her as beloved relative. She treated us all like family and we will never forget that or her. We will all miss her, nearly as much as you will. It will force me to be a better person knowing she is watching from Heaven as I would never want to disappoint her. We all share your loss and your grief and are honored to have known her.
