I didn’t get to know Kate for very long. Met her in our grief group at St Peter’s in Forest Lake. She was very sad & missed her husband very much. As weeks went by she started to open up more. We sometimes went out to lunch at Perkins she came we were so happy she did.
My deepest sympathy to her family. RIP Kate you are now back with your beloved husband Bob.
So special to so many, will miss you grandma
Our deepest sympathies to all of the family. We have fond memories of Katie’s visits to Nebraska. She always had a kind word and a warm smile!

Deepest sympathy Auntie Bonnie
Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother.
To the family of Katie- I was a neighbor of Bob and Katie here in Camp Verde, AZ. I so enjoyed them both so very much. Both were always so friendly and available to all their neighbors in many helpful ways.
I would watch little Otto for them at times and he became a very welcomed surrogate pet here as I no longer have my own pets.
Katie and I would exchange Christmas cookies every year.
Bob would be first to offer any help on a broken ANYTHING a neighbor was wrestling with. It was hard to have them leave here to Minnesota.
I spoke with Katie very often by phone, especially when Bob passed. I know she missed him so deeply. I know she now is surely walking hand in hand with him and our Lord.
I wish your family ‘ peace at heart’ in that knowledge
Kate was A very kind, thoughtful and beautiful person.
She has been A very strong person who ensured each one of her kids knew that they were loved unconditionally.
Kate IS looking down from Heaven smiling down on us all. She always let us know we were loved, and continues to shine down on us from Heaven. She is in God’s hands now…
She will always be loved-In Jesus’ name we 🙏🏼 pray-Amen.
