Kathryn is going to be missed. She worked for me at the HACC Library. No matter what was happening in her life she was cheerful and friendly.I have a lot of fond memories of her and her uplifting spirit. She is in my prayers.
My heart is broken with yours and yet rejoicing that at last Kate is with her Heavenly Father and breathing deep in His love. Her visits to me at the Adams County Library Bookstore were very special and will not be forgotten. My love to you and all your family.
