Aunt Katie truly holds a special place in my heart. I remember so many fun times with her while I was going up. My dad always wanted me to be like his sisters. He really thought the world of each of them and knew being just a little like any of them would be wonderful. She truly was a fun loving kind lady that will be missed. She made everyone feel "Special". I will always cherish my memories of Aunt Katie. My prayers are with you today. Weston, Debbie, Amy Huddleston and Alisha Burnett
