Mr. & Mrs. Culbertson, My heart aches for you.
Kate now can do all the things she loved to do pain free. I remember are good times in Bible school and her great love for embroidery and will put those decorations on my tree with a bit more care and remembrance this year. On her journey she will gather up all her furry friends and then go onto family and live forever in our hearts!
Love,
Wendy Matthews

Dear Betty And Dan, I am so sorry for your loss. I know you will miss Katie every day. She is with Jesus now and enjoying all her furry friends. I just lost my younger brother on the 13th, – maybe he will meet her on their journey. Love, Anne
Betts and Dan, our hearts ache for you….Katie was a darling. She endured so much….she is with Jesus…No more pain…we love you. Judy and Larry
Dear Betty and Dan, I didn’t know Katie all that well, but well enough to see she was a kind, loving gal that loved to read, which I’m sure she got from her Mom, maybe her love of animals came from her Dad.. Doesn’t matter though, she was a smart girl and had 2 wonderful parents that adored her. Many of her skills she picked up herself, but the one I knew most about was her impeccable embroidery. Every time I visited, she would lay out a ‘bed full’ of her handy work and said choose whatever you would like!
She probably has gone over the Rainbow Bridge to visit any lost friends there, and from there family.
Betty and Dan,
My heart is breaking for you. I know that Kate is in comfort, peace and in the loving arms of our Lord. Sending much love and prayers.
Your forever friend,
Bobbi
