Aunt Katie lived well, loved much, and laughed often. We will surely miss her. May you rest in peace Aunt Katie.
I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of a loved one. Her granddaughter, Michelle, is a beloved member of our Patriot Family at Northern High School. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family during this time of grieving.
Family and friends you have my deepest sympathy. This is a difficult time for most. There are basic things that can help anyone get through the pain no matter what age, gender or religious beliefs. Many have been helped with the twelve basics or just a few. You can go to jw.org and get the basics with no cost ever. See the article “Help for those who grieve “ in the magazine section. Anyone can get help and comfort.
To the family of Mrs. Crim – sending sympathy and thinking of you all and especially thinking of her son, Rick, who passed away many years ago. Tism and Alan Blackwell
Mark and Crim family, I really enjoyed seeing Ms. Katie at the Bluegrass Hump Day. Her smile and friendliness just brighten up the whole place. She will greatly be missed. Will keep all in prayers at this sad time. Sorry I missed her services I was out of town.
