    • My sincere condolences to Rob and family. Katie was special and had a good heart, quick to lend a helping hand. She was my friend and we shared lots of good memories together; long walks, watching birds from her back deck, and long talks about anything that came to mind.
      Katie will always live on in my memories. Rob and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. ❤️🙏
