As grandfather and grandmother, we enjoyed her participation in stage performances. Her part in the Nutcracker and Cinderella with her mother were special memories that we will cherish forever.

Katie and Nina spent several summers visiting with us for at least one week at a time. On more than one occasion they brought friends from Dallas to spend time with us in our home. At these times we were able to enjoy their involvement with their cousins and Katie amused herself by drawing and creating pieces of art for our enjoyment and other members of her family.

At times it became necessary for us to baby-sit Nina and Katie in Dallas. These periods of time were enjoyable and afforded us the opportunity to interact with them and their friends. Katie made sure we were kept amused during these times by playing the piano and performing numerous song and dance routines with her friends and Nina.

Katie's childhood was an eventful, joyous learning experience full of a diversity of activities. The picture of her represents a cheerful likeness of a young girl who was willing to participate in the day to day events of life lived as it ought to be lived. These are just a few of the memories we have of a bright, vibrant, loving granddaughter. She will live in our hearts forever.
