Katy has been such a wonderful friend for so many years. I will always remember her wonderful sense of humor and her kindness to others. I have been gone from Orange for 16 years but Katie has still been a lovely voice to hear when I call her. I am so##imported-begin##Carole Ewy##imported-end##

So sorry to hear of Katie's passing. I always adored Mrs. Mann and remembered her fondly for the practical jokes they like to play. She was a wonderful woman and a warm and caring human being as was Charlie. You will be missed but not forgotten.##imported-begin##Mark Ewy##imported-end##

Katie will be greatly missed. I cherish the memories of our afternoon chats over a coke or a glass of wine. Katie had a wonderful life. She shared many stories of all she has experienced through 97 and 3/4 years of living.##imported-begin##Donna Johnson##imported-end##
