Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering ALL those great memories before and after you moved from Minnesota. I considered Kathleen a very close friend and I'm happy that she's dancing without pain now and smiling down at her wonderful family. Sorry we can't be there with you.

Love, Jocelyn, Keith and Courtney Kilpatrick

Dear Bob, My Mom and I are just heartbroken to hear about Kathleen. I cannot even imagine how totally devastated you, the kids, and her family are right now. Wish there were words to help ease the pain, but I know of nothing to say except how beautiful she was, how easy to love. She will be missed.
