Dear Griffith and Varley Families,
Words cannot express how much Kathy will be missed. Our families and our lives intertwined for four generations on Cape Cod. There are so many years, and so many memories. May the Bay Breezes blow softly as they whisper through the Pines, reminding us gently that we're not alone. Kathy lives on in the hearts of so many, and just like Cape Cod Kathy captured our hearts.

With Love, Sympathy, and Sadness.
The Lynch and Purcell Families
