Dear Norbert, Kathy, and Family,
Our sympathy at the passing of Kate. We will never forget those great family get-togethers at the Weber Tavern in Trenary during our youth. Kate was always so upbeat and fun to be around, and what a great sense of humor she had, and what a wonderful caregiver she was. The world needs more people like Kate.
