So it´s been almost 9 years and I´m still missing you. Thinking of putting away Christmas decorations and it brings back memories of all the Christmas items we exchanged. I still put out some of your favorites. Every year we´d get ideas on how to change out ornaments on your tree for Valentines so we wouldn´t have to take it down. Until we see each other again I´ll leave one Christmas ornament out all year because I can hear your laugh and see your smile.

I worked with Kathy at St Joseph Hospital in the '80s & '90s. I seem to recall she worked the night shift so while our paths only seem to cross during the shift changes, I remember her to be friendly and always willing to share a smile. I am sad to learn of her passing.

I am so sorry for all of the family. Kathy was part of our family, so involved in watching all the kids grow and making crafts with them, sharing in all that we did as a family. We loved her so much. There are no words for her loss but I know as you all do, she would not want us to mourn but be happy she is in the Glory of the Lord. I know that we will be reunited one day so this is just a space in time but she will be so missed. Prayers, love and thoughts are with all of you.
