I try to keep a very professional relationship with all of my clients. But Katherine Mashburn wasn’t having that. From the moment we met we were friends and never strangers. She talked – I listened- we were each others safe space. She was such a beautiful, loving and genuine person. She brought her whole family to me and supported my business any way that she could. I admired her strength,drive and tenacity. A loving mother, daughter and aunt. I know she will be missed by everyone who has crossed her path. Such a shining light put out way to soon. I’m truly going to miss you Kat. Thank you for being a friend. Prayers to the entire Mashburn family. I love y’all.
