Katherine looked forward to visits from her family and friends while residing at Country Square. We, her family, who loved Katherine, will miss her forever. A shining light has gone out of our life. “Miss me a little – but not too long. And not with your heads bowed low. Remember the love we once shared. Miss me – but let me go. For this is the journey that we must all take, and each must go alone.”
Thank you to the staff of Country Square AFC for providing a loving, caring and comfortable home for Katherine, especially during her last days.
