My heart is sad...I keep thinking of Aunt Katherine and all my memories of her when I was very young and she lived in Pennsylvania...I think of when she married my Uncle Mike...what a lovely wedding it was and so much fun and joy...I think of when they made the move to Florida...I lived there then and we visited together...they even came to my wedding!  Many beautiful memories...sure wish life could remain the same.  Lou and I send our love to all the family...please know that we care. Love, Betsy & Lou XXOO

Mike , Ron, And Marge,
Katherine was quite a unique personality. She definitely had a great time back in N. Versailles, Pa. when she was with our gang of bowlers. I hadn't seen her in many years but I still will miss her. You all have my deepest sympathies and may God be with you.

Dear Mike and Family -- We are deeply saddened by the passing of your lovely wife, mother and grandmother.  We will always remember Katherine and we feel lucky that we had the pleasure of knowing her.  May your heart be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together.

Someone once said, â€œWhen you lose someone you love, you gain an angel you know.â€

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Please accept our sincere condolences.

Aunt Katherine was my Godmother and aunt. I have such great memories of her. We would sit at the table and play board games and she would bring out the home baked cookies. She played such a huge part of who I am. I always remember her as quiet and kind. She brought so much love to everyone's life with whom she touched. She was also the family historian. She was the one who helped me with our families history. So much information will be gone with her passing.
Uncle Mike, Ron, Marjorie and family, you have my deepest sympathy. My prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

I will always have fond memories of all of the good times we spent at Aunt Katherine's when she lived in North Versailles.  Those were the best of times and she always such a great hostess and aunt.  I'll carry fond memories of her in my heart forever.

Rosemary and Al Steele

I couldn't have asked for a more fun, loving and wonderful grandma.  All the great times and memories will never be forgotten.  I will miss you grandma!

Dear Uncle Mike, Ron and Marge,
Deepest sympathy in the loss of your beloved wife and mother.  Celebrate her life, and enjoy the memories!
Love, Dorothy & Harry (Pittsburgh, PA)

Grandma, thank you for bringing so much love and joy to our family and to so many others. We will all miss you so much, but find comfort knowing you lived a very long, loving, and fulfilling life. I will never forget all of the precious memories that can only be shared between a Grandma and her grandkids. And thank you for always "spoiling us rotten!" I feel you smiling down at us from heaven, and I can hear your contagious laughter that I will always cherish. Your loving granddaughter,

We are sad to say "good-bye for now" to Aunt Katherine and sorry that we had not seen her for such a long time.  We know that she gave her children and grandchildren all the guidance they needed to live in this world - a world that was better for her being in it.

To Mike and Family,
Our sincere condolences for your loss.  Katherine was a wonderful lady and she will be sorely missed.  May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.  

With love,
Martha, Linda, Fernand, Diane, Bruce, Philippe, David and Victoria

â€œMomâ€ will be missed by many.  She was the best mom, wife, mother-in-law, and grandma that anyone could ask for.  I guess God needed another angel so He called her.
