Karen, I remember your mother so well. I am sorry for your loss. She did a great job on getting to 98! She was so welcoming and friendly to me. Now, the next question is, do you remember me? Jewel Glavey

This is a wonderful picture! Katherine was a wonderful and very giving person. She meant a lot to a lot of people in Durango. I also know she loved her family dearly. I hope you have many fond memories to cherish. Some of my memories include her love of kids in Sunday school and, my favorite, is when she enouranged my idea to hang my Christmas tree upside down (at the end of a very tough year) and roped W.C. into helping me do it.
