Kate was a great neighbor we enjoyed hanging out at the video store..
Our dog loves barking at her dogs..she used to bring Holly boxes of treats..
Forty years as neighbors went by too fast.
I will never forget you Kate, you was one of the sweetest kindest Ladies I’ve known in my life! I enjoyed our little chats. You will be forever missed.
