Our beloved Katherine Porter passed on Jan. 5. Her mother, Connie Hartt
(Clemmie), and her entire family truly appreciate the kind offerings that
have brought such comfort to us during this very sad time. To the Portland Elders
in particular, when that van drove up the driveway it was all we could do to hold
it together.

friends took the time to come and celebrate her life and memories with us.
