If you would like to send flowers, we would like to request that, instead, you make a donation to one of her favorite charities in her honor: Cats In Need is the organization that helped us find Katherine's cats' homes, and will be helping us find Jean's cat (Molly) find a new home.

If you choose to make a donation, could you please let me know? We wanted to make a memorial with a picture or 2, a few lines from a prayer, and commemorate the donations in her honor. Thanks! |
