To the Walls Family: Kathy was one of the most uplifting persons I have known. I am so sorry for your loss. She was one of my dearest friends from long time ago and she will be missed dearly. I wish I had known earlier because I would have went to her funeral but just found out today and I am shocked.

I am so sorry to hear about Kathy. Mrs Walls and Faye may remember me as I was one of Kathy's best friends in high school. I haven't seen her in years, but Mom and Dad would keep me updated when they saw her. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. May God comfort you.

To Mike and Family, It was with great sorrow that I heard about your loss of Kathy. We car pooled and worked together at Blue Ridge Job Corp and I would see her from time to time when I came into the Treasurers office. She was indeed a fine person and will be greatly missed.

Sincerely,

I HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING IN A BUSINESS NEAR KATHY'S WORK, WE OFTEN WALKED INTO THE OFFICE TOGETHER AND VISITED IN THE MORNINGS. SHE WAS ALWAYS UPLIFTED AND HAPPY. WITHOUT A DOUBT SHE LOVED THE LORD AND SHE EXPRESSED THAT TO ME OFTEN OF HOW GOOD GOD HAD BEEN TO HER. I SAW HER FACE AND KNEW THAT SHE WAS HAPPY ALL THE TIMES I WAS EVER IN HER COMPANY. SHE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT WHERE SHE WANTS US ALL TO MEET HER ONE DAY, IN HEAVEN. GOD BLESS HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS LEFT HERE WITH SWEET MEMORIES.
