What a wonderful mom you have! My sister Gloria was disabled and Karen and her would go to the dances together. Your mom was always helping Gloria too and picked her up for all the dances. She also helped my mom out a lot, taking her places(she did not drive). Our family is very grateful for all she did for us. Our deepest sympathy to all of you. Cherish all her wonderful memories. What a great person to have known!

At dear Katie’s passing we have many thoughts and emotions—sorrow, bittersweet memories, and joy all mixed up. What a beautiful and sweet spirit! Katie’s spirit always shined forth with love and care for others. Her strength of character and her physical strength were remarkable. She was not only a cancer survivor, but shortly after a radical mastectomy, she returned to work requiring her to carry heavy trays. She was a loving wife to Ed even in difficult times. As a mother, her love was lavished on her four children. She was an exceptional mother for Karen, a child with a severe disability. And she was a wonderful mother to three other incredible children who are her living legacy. Your spirit lives on in our memories and in God’s eternal embrace. Donna, Amy, Katy, Claire and Randy Parker
