My mother and father, Patrick and Barbara Holligan informed me of your terrible loss. We are all devasted out here in Southern California. My parents have fond memories of the AAUW Gourmet Dinner group get-togethers with you and Mrs. Dines. I remember babysitting the girls a few times in the late 1980's when you resided on Bear Paw. Our hearts are with you.

I am so sorry to hear about Katie's passing and want to remember her artistic ability, spunkiness in class, and making her own"fashion statements" in second grade. What a gal!
