Cause of death: alzheimer's
Katie was my mother. Her mother died just days after her birth, she was raised by her grandma Beaver.
She loved flowers and always had a lot of them planted in her yard. She also had a vegetable garden every year that I can remember and she loved to go play Bingo. She loved to walk, she walked more than anyone I've ever known. If Heaven has gardens I can guarantee she is on her hands and knees covered in dirt, smiling and working in those gardens and taking long walks. I wish she and I had been close, I always wanted to be close to her but it just never worked out that way. I had a rough childhood and if times had been different I would have been removed from their home.
UPDATE: I did a DNA test in June 2019 at 2 different places and discovered Ted Hipps isn't my biological father. My dna matches 'William Edward Ogburn' but he refused to accept this news. Ogburn's children show up as half siblings.

If roses grow in Heaven
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my mother's arms
And tell her they're from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her
And when she turns to smile
Place a kiss upon her cheek
And hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
but there's an ache within my heart
that will never go away.
