Dear family and friends of dear Kathy, please accept my deepest condolences. There really are no words to express the heartfelt sadness one feels when a young life is extinguished so suddenly. Time and unexpected events befall us all, states Ecclesiastes 9:11. May the God who is binding up the brokenhearted and comforting those mourning be of comfort to you during this most difficult time. (Isaiah 61:1, 2)

I am blessed to have known Kathy. She was a servant leader who encouraged others to do just a little more and be a little better each day. My journey at Sullivan will not be the same without her. God bless your family.

Kathy was a wonderful person. I met her 3 years ago when I decided to go back to school to get my MBA. Her dedication to me made feel like I was that special. Enjoyed walking on her office teasing with her about quitting school, her comment was you better not, I will hurt you. She will be missed for sure.

I was shocked to hear of Kathy's passing. She was my "guiding light" at Sullivan. I had just spoken with her on last Tuesday. You are in my thoughts and my prayers. May your faith and the love of family and friends help you through this time of sorrow.
