We will miss you, Katie!

Sad news came to us on a cold, mid-October morning. One of our own, (recently) past co-workers had passed away.

Katie Tomaso was a very dedicated member of the Ebert team for five years. She was a retoucher, a printer, she was customer service and she was an assistant photographer here at our studio. Most of all, she was a smiler, and a laugher. She had such a hearty, joyful laugh! I could always count on her to make my stupid sense of humor seem funny, and when the mood was serious-she was good for a joke of her own!

Katie died after struggling with a terminal illness October 22, 2006. She was just 38 years young.

Katie has a large family and I was so happy to hear that they were at her side in her final moments. She would have had it no other way. She always loved to talk about her family...in particular, her nieces and nephews!

I am proud to have been a part of Katie's life. We had a lot in common, especially our love for photography.
