I wanted to let her classmates know that the memorial service for Katrina held in Omaha, NE on April 9th was beautiful. There were over 200 in attendance with a caravan of Porsches from downtown Omaha in her honor. (Anyone surprised?) The service honored her life and accomplishments and was a celebration of the richness of the life she lived. My thanks to everyone for the outpouring of heartfelt support. She never forgot what made her successful, family, friends, home.
With deepest thanks,
John Phillips
In her profile Katrina stated the following. John and I have traveled extensively. I retired in 2009 after nearly 40 years as a pharmacist. I have given up the Porsche high speed track driving and am content with my PEO activities and other hobbies.
