Uncle Austin, Wanda, Joy, Raymond and families:
While we are saddened that Aunt Katheryn is no longer here with us, we also rejoice that she is now with her Heavenly Father and can run, sing, and laugh as much as she wants. She is free from the pain and frustration she has been in and we are all grateful for that. She leaves us with wonderful memories - we have a film of her walking with Steve and he (of course) stepped on her foot with his braces....she danced quite a while after that. Steve asked about her just last Thursday. Tom and I had taken him to Ryan's for Thanksgiving and we went for a ride and he asked how Aunt Katheryn was doing. When I told him the last I heard not so good he said "Oooh". I asked if he wanted to go see her and he thought for a long time before he said no. I think he wants to see her like she was before and is now...on her feet and having a good time. We all love her and will miss her. Our prayers are with you all.

Dear Austin, My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow, just remember that Kathryn is in a much better place and no suffering now. Her and Al can look down upon us and make sure we are doing fine.
