Dear Kate and Erin, we just learned of your mom's passing and lengthy illness. I'm so sorry to hear of it. I remember fondly all the years of fellowship at St. max, seeing you both grow up, and knowing that you were very loved. Our children, Michael and Christy remember you and your family fondly as well. Our thoughts are with all of you during this sad time. I hope the many good memories will bring you peace in time.

Kate and Erin,
Steve and I are so very sorry to hear about your moms passing. We have so many memories of your mom and your entire family as you and Steph grew from toddlers to adults. I too will remember her smile, her laugh and her love for her family! Hugs to you both.

My sincere condolences to the entire family. I met Kathy through our children. She was always a positive vibe with everyone who encountered her. Kathy will be sorely missed. May her joyfulness and kindness live through her children and grandchildren.

Kate and Erin,
Max and I were deeply saddened when we learned of your mom's passing. She was a 'lover of life' and a giver to so many, compassionate and fun-loving. Perhaps that is why it is so hard to understand why she had to suffer so and leave this world too soon. Our favorite memories are of camping, your mom's smile and laughter. She adored both of you and we are sure she loved both grandchildren. Please know that we have kept Kathy and both of you in our prayers over the past few weeks. We will be unable to attend the service this week but we will be there in spirit. God bless all of you.
