If I was to look up the word sweet in the dictionary I would find a picture of Ms Kate I remember meeting her over forty years ago at Shiloh's Homecoming and saw her there yearly and she was just as sweet as the first time I met her I corresponded with her several times after moving back to Ohio I received one reply but I had told her I wasn't writing for a response rather just to let her know I was thinking of her She knew where she was going and had made preparations a long time ago She had packed up and was ready to go She'd say don't cry for me I'm a whole lot better off than any of you I've seen my SAVIOR face to face I lived my life in such a manner that I looked forward to this day coming I was ready are you For those of you who are ready I'll see you after while for those of you who aren't ready I'm gone leave that alone that's a story for another day hopefully Marvin L Henderson Kent OH
