    The last time I visited Katie was in Miles City at the nursing home. She was so ready to go see Orville and you can bet the Moon Creek reunion in Heaven is filled with laughing, hugs and old memories. May she rest in peace and peace be with every member of her family and friend circle.

    I took care of both Orville and Kate. Kate and I became super close over the past few years, she is one tough gal. My heart hurts to learn of her passing but I’m thankful she isnt in pain anymore. My thoughts and prayer are with her family.
