Mary and Linda, I am so sorry for your loss of your big sis. I have so many fond memories of her and the whole Franzen family. I know we never got in any trouble with her, when I spent the night on Wade street. Yeah, right! She was always looking out for Mary Jo and I. My heart and prayers go out to you, and her children as well. I will be thinking of you all on Tuesday, Much love, Cindy Bason

You never know what to say or how to say it, the only thing you do know is life will never be the same. I lost my dearest friend of 30yrs we shared laughter and tears. Katie was special a kind and gentle heart she loved her family dearly. What a fierce Republican she was as everyone knew who talked politics with her. She will be dearly missed by all she will always have a special place in my heart forever always.

Want you to know you are being thought about and not alone right now and you are all loved very much. Love and prayers coming your way always, Laura S.
