Thank you to everyone who has taken the time out to sign this guest book. It really touches my heart to see how many people are truly concerned about my well being. I am glad that you all were able to enjoy the gift that God sent when He sent my mother. I know that I am not the only one saddened by her passing on, but if I may offer a word of encouragement to anyone feeling the hurt that I am feeling, it will be this: "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" and we all know that is where she is. Also remember that this to shall pass.

I miss you Kathy, you've been my best friend since the 6th grade. I would talk to you and spend time with you when no one else mattered. You were truly a good friend. When life problems became to hard I would always find comfort in talking and laughing with you. We had some of the best times in the world. I'll never forget you and I will always cherish our friendship in my heart. I promise you that I will try to always be there for India and help her in whatever way I can. Love, your Best friend forever Lisa

A poem for my sister Kathy

God blessed me with a gift

A baby sister name Kathy

I was lonely here on earth with only other big brothers and sisters twice my age

I need someone to laugh,smile,play and share with

Then God blessed me with my a precious baby sister name Kathy

Oh the joy that filled my spirit

The void now felt filled, someone my own age to pray together at night, now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul he keep

She brought happiness,sadness,love and peace, someone to call on in times of troubles. She would encourage my heart, she told me I could make it, don't give up, trust God and he will direct your path

Now God have called her back unto him.

To rest again in his arms

I feel sad, along, but I know God makes no mistakes

I bless him for the gift he blessed and shared with me, the life of KATHY she and me

humbly submitted by your sister Rhonda

love you, rest in peace

India,

I am so sorry about the passing of your mother. Know that God is sovereign and He knows all and He knows best. God will comfort you and keep you strong. When you feel alone, know that He is there carrying you through. He is a burden bearer, a heavy load carrier; He is God. I love you and will be here for you as the days, months, and years past.

Praying for you always,

Mrs. Barr

My deepest sympathy during your loss. I graduated with Kathy, and I have talked with her during the last couple of month's at different places and she encouraged me with weight issues. She always remained the same throughout the years. I will miss her presence in life.

Sincerely,

Constance Vaughn-Cannon
