Johnny and family. We are so saddened to learn of Kat's passing. We had so many great times at the Place in Back and when she'd come to Divide to visit us. She was one of a kind and the world will not seem as bright without her in it. Blessings to you and yours. Sincerely, John & Melody Clements, Canon City, CO

To my crazy friend of so many years....Kat, I will never forget your tenacious attitude and zest for life! We had a special connection from the very first day we met 20 years ago at Place in the Back after I beat Johnny on the pool table and earned your respect! You always called me your little "Pattykins" and it still makes me smile to imagine your voice saying it. I am sorry we didn't spend more time over the past several years. You and Johnny were a huge part of my life and I thank you for all the wonderful memories! Rest in peace with our Heavenly Father above and we will carry your spirit here on Earth.... knowing you are out of pain and watching over us all. Johnny, my heart and prayers go out to you and the family during this difficult time of loss. Remember only the good times, and she will remain in your heart always! Love and hugs! XXX
