I am writing this on behalf of myself and the other 6 Spencer siblings: Susie, Scott, Sandy, Sally, Sheila, Stacy, and me (Sharon.) I would like to extend our condolences to you, Jennifer. I never had the chance to meet you, but perhaps at some future point I will. I am sure that you and I would share a lot of the same fond memories of Kathryn. Wishing you peace during this sad time. Though Kathryn was our step-grandmother, she was very much a grandmother to us and always welcomed us into her home. Personally I have a thousand wonderful memories of her. My siblings and I would often visit her and my grandfather Ralph during our childhood years. It was truly a joy going to their charming Cassville home. Kathryn was a terrific cook and always more than hospitable to us. Then later, as an adult, it was nice to “go down memory lane” and go back to WV to see her. I always admired Kathryn’s upbeat and energetic attitude toward life. I know all my siblings felt the same. We will miss her!
