Im very sorry for the loss of your mother. I loved taking care of her she was a wonderful woman. She always had a song in her heart and gave the best hugs. Kat was one of a kind…she had a heart of gold and she will be sorley missed. She loved her boys very much and they took such great care of her…Kathryns eyes always lit up when she heard their voices. Now we can take comfort in knowing she is singing loud and clear in heaven.
