Prayers and condolences to the family & friends of Kathryn Taylor. We worked together at Steel Warehouse. She was only her for a short time, but I think she enjoyed it here and enjoyed her being on our team. I loved her smile and personality. She was soft spoken, and the way she carried herself you would never know that she was going through anything. We will definitely miss her.
Kathryn open up her home to my mother and me in 2014. My mom reached hoping the two of us could stay the night while on our road trip to move me to LA. Kathryn graciously said we were more than welcome to stay for the night. She had everything ready and waiting for us when we arrived. We laughed, talked and enjoyed each others company. We were so grateful and appreciative.
My prayers are with our family!
