So sorry to here this. Ms. Kat was a very nice lady. Prayers for her family.
My grandmother was her sister. One memory I have of Aunt Kat…
I remember when Papa passed away and we got there, her sisters were all standing around Granny, rubbing her arm, talking, trying to comfort and protect her. They were all shocked and distressed but their instinct kicked in and they closed ranks around. Just one memory I have of Aunt Kat…prayers and peace for the family.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Condolences and prayers to the family.
