Mom, God took you and I don't know why, everynight I sit and cry. I ask God why, and receive no reply.
I miss you more than words can say

Forever and always My beautiful mom
Walk now to heaven....walk on

Dear Gary, Matt, Mary and the Hanrahan family,
We were so sorry to hear of the loss of Kathy.
She was a kind and giving friend and neighbor with a heart of gold! That is why it is only right that she walk in streets of gold today with the rest of God's angels!
May that thought alone give you peace and comfort.
