She was always so very open to sharing her vast wealth of knowledge on gum printing. While I may have never met her in person, she certainly has touched my life. She will be missed indeed.

This is such sad news.
I corresponded with her once and she was so enthusiastic and generous. I'm not sure I'd have persisted with Gum without her input.
I was really looking forward to showing her what I was working on.

Vale Katherine Thayer
