    I worked with your mom years ago at St Francis Rehab. I learned a lot from her… like how to handle doctors. She was always so pleasant. She did an excellent job on the Rehab unit. She will truly be missed.

    Dear Susie, Diane, Gary , Don and families,

    Kate was always a joy to be around; memories of her working in the kitchen, the beautiful home she and Eldon put their heart and soul into, the lovely flowers , the warm, cozy chats we had; all were a blessing that I got to experience with the Powell family. Her voice was soft , her heart was strong, her memories will be with you forever; you all were blessed to have her for your mom!

    Love and prayers for Kate, Eldon and your family.

    Love , Cindy and Mike
