To the family of Kathy Ligday, We did not know Kathy very long but we fixed her computers and got to know her over the years. We were in shock to hear of her passing. She was a beautiful person inside and out. We adored her!! Heaven will be happy to receive her that's for sure. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I knew Kathy for only a few short months through the volunteer work she did for my PTA committee, but I have fond memories of her kindness and generosity. She was so friendly and always so willing to help, and she beamed with such love and pride when she spoke of her little nephew. She touched many lives, and I feel blessed to have known her. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

I am very sorry to hear about Kathy. I just met her a few months ago at school, and I liked her immediately. I knew right away she was an amazing person, full of unbounded kindness and generosity. My deepest sympathies and most sincere condolences to everyone with the great fortune to have known and loved her. I will always be sad I didn't get the time to know her better.

Hello mom and dad; brother Jack and nephew Jackson. as there are no words I can say to you all re: your Kathy's sudden passing. Too soon. Her work here on earth was done. She took care of Gary etc. Yet so very hard to accept. Remember all she was in her time here. I am so very truly sorry for your Great Loss-your Kathy. I pray that you all are near to our Lord-look to Him Always. Ask a question-a prayer-He will answer you. Please be open to that. Love, Sandi Eggert.

Visited Ocean City Md with Kathy for a few years. Loved her spirit. She killed me at Uno. Kathy loved the beach. Only person to go on the BIG rides with me on the boardwalk! A loss for all of us that cared for her.
