'To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord'...Kathy is now gazing into the precious face of Jesus. She was such a fine example of a Godly woman. No doubt, the first thing the Lord did say to her was, 'well done, my good and faithful servant'.

'Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted'...Jim, Chrissy and Rebecca (and families)...during this sad time, may you feel the blessed comfort that only comes through our Lord Jesus. Please be assured that you are being upheld in prayer. Love to you all.

Kay had such a sparkle to her eyes whenever I saw her at the dental office. She was a kind and happy, giving person. Seeing someone like this, makes you realize that there are good people in the world. Sorry for your loss. I'm sure she made a difference in your lives. She did mine. Carol Varni
