She was a lady of many talents; sharing them with others through her paintings, needlework, quilting, music, and her delicious home cooked meals.

I just learned of Mrs. Katie’s passing this morning. I am truly saddened I didn’t get to attend her funeral. She meant a lot to me.
Rest in the arms of Jesus Mrs. Katie!
