Hi to the Hermes and Capiz families -- Katie was a very dear friend of mine when we were young and lived across the street from each other on Iowa Avenue in Falcon Heights. She was a true light in my childhood - we especially loved tornado warnings and throwing all the pillows and sleeping bags and stuffies we could possibly find as quickly as we could down the basement and then huddling down there together, along with Tim and friends. We trick or treated together and made snow forts and all the good stuff of being a kid! She had a spunk and a verve that was truly special. I am so very sorry to hear of her illness and passing. May her memory make for a blessing to all of you. Sending love and peace to all of you as you grieve her. (I am now the mother of three sons, I imagine Katie and I would have a good laugh about the number of boys in our lives!) With much love, Margaret Leslie
