We know how special Grandmother was you to you all, she sure was special . She will be missed. We will be thinking of you all — You all are in our Prayers!
Katherine was one of the last of a dying breed of mothers whose purpose in life was to care for her family and friends. If she ever had a concern for her own well being it was to stay healthy and strong so that she could care for everyone else. She probably never had a selfish thought, even in her final days. I was blessed to have a grandmother like that and I’m blessed to have known Katherine Peden and to have a friend like her daughter Barbara who is so much like her.
Linda and Barbara…Such a respected lady that will be missed. Keep in your hearts the memories of your mother and be proud you had so many wonderful talks and time spent with your mom..
Such a precious lady!! We will be thinking of you — You all are in our Prayers!
