Kat believed in the Holiness faith and served the Lord for most of her life.  She believed, trusted, leaned on and confided in her Savior Jesus Christ until the very end.  When her race had been run and the Angels guided her onward to the next part of her journey.  She longed to hear Jesus say "Well done, good and faithful servant." and welcome her Home.
