What a sweet soul Katy was. Always pleasant, kind and pleasantly surprised when a bit of candy or a cookie appeared to go with her cup of coffee. The artists at Gallery Uptown will miss her stories, her drawings, and her calls of "I love you!" on her way out the door.
I always enjoyed her visits to the Gallery when I was working. Loved how she shared her drawings and always had a big smile.

I always looked forward to visiting with Katy when she stopped in at the Gallery Uptown while I was working. She often had drawings to share, and welcomed cookies to eat with her big cup of coffee. I'll miss her sweet smile and latest report about her cats and latest adventure. Love ya Katy.
I loved have her visit our store. I always gave her a big cup of hot coffee, her favorite treat and some bread for the birds.Always a fun story and a hug everyday she came in. She will be missed by all of my staff as well as myself. I loved the stories about her cats and her many boyfriends...downtown will be different from now on. Edward from Baker'
Sorry to hear of your loss. I used to see her at the GH post office. She was always so kind and we used to exchange Christmas cards every year. It’s been 15 years since I last saw her. Peacejudi
Loved seeing Katy come into our store (Grand Haven Vinegar and Oil) almost everyday for the past 6 years plus, will miss her smiling face, funny stories, and pictures she drew. Always made me smile. Bless you Katy and Love you too.

Katy was such a ray of sunshine when she came to visit us. She shared her artwork along with many stories. We will miss seeing her smiling face.

We will miss Katy's frequent visits at First Reformed Church. She always came in with a smile and never left without telling us she loved us and asking for a prayer. Our sincerest thanks to the other downtown businesses and individuals who also looked after her and shared our affection for one memorable lady. May the Lord bless her :)
