    She was a special and sweet lady! She was an excellent bookkeeper and taught me many
    accounting and business skills when I began working for her and Mr. Pete during college.
    We worked many long days and nights but she was always fun to work with. I fondly remember
    those days and treasure the memories of those early years. Keeping her family in my prayers
    during this time.

    Ms Katherine was a lively, smart, funny and highly motivated woman and I admired her very much, she was a good neighbor … it was hard to see the changes she had to deal with due to her illness but I feel like with her new body in heaven she is vibrant and thriving and looking over those she loved !
