After the flood of 1997 that took the REM home, Katherine became a resident of REM in Roseau, and participated in the Development Achievement Center (DAV) programs there. In 1999 she was able to return to East Grand Forks. Katherine enjoyed living at REM, and looked forward to her water and massage therapy sessions, and spending time at the DAC. She had great affection for the staff and her fellow residents, and Katherine's family members are very grateful for the wonderful care and kindness shown to her during the many years spent with them.
