Katherine Herlinger
In loving memory of our beloved Katherine Herlinger whose birthday is March 21, 2023.
Now that I am gone,
Remember me with smiles and laughter,
And if you need to cry,
Cry with another who walks in grief beside you.
And when you need me,
Place your arms around someone,
And give them what you need to give to me,
There are so many who need so much.
I want to leave you something,
Something much better than words or sounds,
Look for me in the people we’ve known,
Or helped in some special way,
Let me live in your heart,
As well as in your mind.
You can love me most,
By letting your love reach out to our loved ones,
By embracing them and living in their love,
For love does not ever die, people do.
So, when all that’s left of me is love,
Give me away as best you can!
With Our Special Love,
“Happy Birthday,” Mother (Katie and Munga)
Much love:
David, MaryAnn, Bernie, Alex, Shawna and Adam
