I have spoken before of just how special "Katie the neighbor"
is to me. Only in 9th grade when we became neighbors to her
and her family on Lee drive, Right away,
I knew she was a special child but did know just how
important she would become to me, my siblings and my Mommy.
Katie is much like this woman who will be laid to rest today.
She raised I believe 13 children and had each of them
as well as her grandchildren feel special.
It was with regret when her health and her dementia
forced her family to place her in a nursing home.
Katie visited her every Sunday and on the day she got married
she spent hours with her grandmother because she was
too ill to come to the wedding.
Katie was there for my Mommy and my siblings
when she was in her last months. If I called this gal to
go stay with Mommy until one of us could get to her, she would.
Mommy told everyone she was her granddaughter,
whether her dementia had her believing that or if it was
just easier than explaining how she was related.
I will travel to Thibodaux today to be with the Duet family
as I am so proud to have known many of them but
most importantly, there for my Katie,
or as we all know her as,
"Katie the neighbor"
