Katy's family was like family to mine. Our children grew up together and are still friends. Katy and I worked together on many projects, and shared a love of her sisters. Steve, Nick, Dan and Matthew I share your deep sorrow at Katy's passing; the world will be a lesser place without her.Julie Biegmann
