My heart goes out to all the children, grandchildren and the great grandchildren. She was a lovely lady and will be missed greatly. I always got a kick on Halloween, she had special bags made up for certain children, mine thought they were so important to go into the house and get theirs.

So sorry to hear of Kate's passing. Our family has many fond memories of the Doele family? We enjoyed taking our mom to visit Kate and were always amazed at how sharp her mind was!
