First off, I would like to celebrate  your life Katharine, not morn your passing . So ,  by the grace of God , you have been brought home to live with the “king “of all Kings . Our Lord and Savior.  God bless you🙏as you no longer live in fear or pain . 
There are many  memories, but what I would like to share is the last time I spent with my sister Katherine . 
On my way to Maryland a few years back I stopped off for a visit and was invited to stay a couple nights,  So grateful I did. She and Tony were always very gracious and  generous that way   . The next morning they wanted to take me to a cute place to have breakfast which I thoroughly enjoyed.    Katharine and I spoke of a movie we both wanted to see so that afternoon I took her to the  movies. We were excited to see it , And It was a great movie.  Unfortunately Katharine asked all through the movie, what did he say ? Can you hear anything ? Well by the time I finished telling her , I missed quite a bit myself so  that ended up being  a funny keepsake of a story . That  evening came, the three of us had a wonderful dinner out. We shared stories, with great  memories., had some laughs. 
Little did I know  what a treasure we had shared,  now would lives  on in my heart forever as it  was the last time spent together . I’m left with nothing but wonderful thoughts of my big sister . She was always loving, caring, and kind , to anyone and everyone. she once  told me it was difficult not to play mother hen since mom  passed . as she was the eldest of the family and just wanted to know everyone was ok and would help any of us at any time . Katharine, you are truly missed. there’s a special place in my heart for you always.   know mom welcomed you home , now  She has five of us with her now.  So until we meet again.  .❤️I know you will RIP . I love you ,  your sister Stevie

I'm so sorry to hear about Aunt Katharine's passing. The eldest bunny of the Bunny Club has gone home to be with her mother and some of the other bunnies, and while we will miss her dearly, we know she is surrounded by love. 

Uncle Tony, my heart goes out to you— please know that we're all thinking of you during this difficult time. Aunt Katharine's warmth, kindness, and spirit will never be forgotten. Sending you all my love and strength as we hold her memory close.

With All Our Love,
Samantha, Matt & Raegan ❤️

You will now be with me forever.  You are missed terribly. 
I love you.

Aunt Katherine I will always remember you for your love of animals, as I also share that love.  As a kid, I always looked forward to visiting because I knew I could also see all of your dogs and was so excited when you got a horse!  You had such a big heart for all of those around you and you will be missed.   May you rest in peace.
Uncle Tony, I am so sorry for your loss, take care!

Love, 
Robin, Steve, Tyler and Kiersten

Tony,
I'd like to convey my heartfelt sorrow for your loss, My love and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.
I pray your many memories will comfort you in the coming days.  Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.  Take Care
Bette Anne

If Forget-Me Nots grow in Heaven, God could you have Mom pick a bunch for me?
Could she give them to my sister Katherine and tell her they are from me!
Let her know I Love her Lord, and I'll miss her everyday,
I know you sent Mom from Heaven to take her back to join her family.
Rest in Peace Big Sister, Forever in my Heart, Until we meet again!
My Favorite memory is when Mom formed the Bunny Club, 
The Forget-Me-Nots will never Forget You!

Dear Aunt Katharine, You left us too soon. But I know God made room for an Angel who is needed in Heaven. You were the Greatest Aunt that I could ever have. No more suffering. Please watch over Uncle Tony. Please rest in Peace.
Love Always! Eddie & Terree

Loved watching you enjoy making this wreath , RIP

We had a great time making this wreath ! ❤️

This is one of my favorite memories of you Katharine , when me and Brud came to visit last year we  had a great time making these clothes pin wreaths and you displayed them on your trellis and they looked beautiful! The four of us had a great time going shopping and to dinner or just going out for ice cream ! We are going to miss coming to your home to visit and just spend time talking and playing cards you had to remind me how to play rummy because I haven’t played for so long and you me and Brud played and you won every game ! Going to miss you big sis , love always , gone but never forgotten , until we meet again ! Love your baby sister and one of your favorite brother in laws Brud who will miss your funny quotes to him .

In loving memory of my sister Katharine, who was the oldest of 11 she passed away on November 10 at the age of 87 and was reunited with mom and dad and a few of her siblings up in heaven. Katharine helped  take care of a lot of us kids when she lived at home until she married and had two kids of her own. She was always there to help anyone of us if you needed her and for the past few weeks of her life it all became a blur, I’m really glad me and Brud came to visit for two years in a row to enjoy the time spent with you and just to say hello. Rest in peace until we meet again love, Sheila and Brud

My heartfelt condolences to Ms. Katharine’s family in their loss.  She has been a wonderful and thoughtful neighbor for several years.  I already miss seeing her tending  to her yard in all weathers.  Good neighbors are a treasure — and she was one of the best.  Hoping you find comfort in knowing her memory will be cherished.

In the quiet moments, we remember, 
A sister's love, a heart so tender. 
Kass, your light will always shine, 
In every memory, in every line.
Though you're gone, you're never far, 
In our hearts, you are the star. 
Rest in peace, dear Kass, so kind, 
Your spirit lives on, in hearts entwined.
 
You will be missed but not forgotten.
Love always 
Bob & Ellen

Aunt Katharine... Oh, how we are going to miss you! The early morning talks you and Kyle had together over coffee and the family talks between you and me were always so special. We loved spending the time at your home. You always made us feel welcome and going out of your way for us to make sure we all had a good time together never went unnoticed. We loved you so much. A link has been broken from our chain and you surely will be missed. 

Uncle Tony... we know this time is unbearable for you. The love Aunt Katharine had for you can't be replaced. May you find peace in the memories and the love that surround you and know you two will meet again. 
Love you both
Kyle and Jackie Ann
