Dear Atkinson Family,
Miss Kathleen and Mr. Leon were special to all of us at the Glebe and cherished being together. Miss Kathleen was such a pretty lady and always wanted to look nice even when she felt ill. She would often mention flowers and pets at meal time. Thank you for sharing both of your parents with us. May God's peace and understanding help comfort you at this time.

Mother and Dad are together now and this weekend in Augusta, Ga golfers are playing at the Masters -- if there is a golf course in heaven, it would look like the Masters in Augusta and KA and LA are there playing golf together again!

Remembering with you here, a life that was so dear.
Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
Far as long as there are our happy memories,
Kathleen will live on in our hearts.

Kathleen and Christina Atkinson (Atlanta, GA.)

I will always cherish my times spent with Aunt Katie and Uncle Leon. They were both always so loving and I'm proud to have been a part of their family. They will be truly missed but I am comforted knowing that they are reunited again in heaven.
