To Katie and Family, What a special lady your mom was! I first knew her as Mrs. Killackey, the social studies teacher, then as "Katie's mom". Words can not express the loss you feel now and there will always be a part of you missing, but celebrate your mom's life and the many lives she touched. I know I will always remember the "tiny" Mrs. Killackey who loved her sweets! Thinking of you all. Love Joanne
