    I extend my sincerest condolences to Katie’s family at this very sad time. I will cherish all the fond memories that I have of Katie and all of the fun and crazy times we had playing golf together. She was such a beautiful person both inside and out. Her talented hands always made my hair look good for the past 20 years.
    Her beautiful smile and cheerful laugh will remain with me always.

    Katie’s classmates from Hudson High School, Class of 1966 were shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Katie’s passing. Many of us enjoyed bi monthly luncheons with her and throughly enjoyed her company and companionship. She was an outgoing, enthusiastic, memorable personality who’s departure will be difficult to accept. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.
