It's just a great sadness that I have to tell you that my dear wife Kathryn Marie Peterson (Kat Van Rooyen Czt) van Rooyen passed away earlier this evening. She has been in the hospital and then rehabilitation and then transferred back to hospital and finally to the ICU where she passed. She had been intubated. Her kidneys were failing. And she had had a massive stroke affecting both sides of her brain at the back of her head. If she had recovered it is quite likely that her quality of life would have been incredibly poor. Although I know I will miss her terribly, I am at peace about this because she is at peace in heaven. She will be with those she loved and of course her savior. You can get more background information as to what has happened over the past 2 weeks by looking at posts that our dear friend Kathryn Hall has posted to try to keep her friends up to date. She she will be cremated at Hurst Scott funeral homes in Tazewell Virginia.
