Ruby, Karen, Kathy, and families, My heart is so sad, I just read about the loss of Katherine. I treasure the years I worked with her at Orange Clinical Lab. She was a good friend, a fill in Mom, and the keeper of all knowledge. I know how your heart aches and will keep you in my prayers. She left me with so much good advice and so many wonderful memories. Julie Risinger Orange,Texas

My thoughts & my prayers are with you all. I have the fondest memories of Katherine who was the sweetest lady with a contagious smile. She was the cutest & coolest grandmother I have ever met that loved her sports car! She was truly a beautiful lady inside & out. It was very evident that she loved her family too.
