Thinking of you Kathy
Eternal Light
Those we love must someday pass beyond our present sight, must leave us and the world we know without their radiant light. But we know that like a candle their lovely light will surely shine to brighten up another place more perfect, more divine. And in the realm of Heaven where they shine so warm and bright. Our loved ones live forevermore in God's eternal light.

Kathy, I've been thinking about you and

and never mind the years. We all miss
you.....

Its been 6 months now and I am still waiting for you to walk through the front door after having been shopping all day

Kathie Speakes-Sinclair

February 8, 2011

Well, I'm real late with this... I have been thinking about Kathy and Art all day, since I learned that Kathy was gone.
I don't know why I never thought to get on Kathy's FB page... I hadn't heard from her for quite awhile but we didn't really "write" or "call" more than a couple of times a year. So many memories flashed back to me when Art told me she was gone. Kathy and I met way back in the San Diego Federal days and have kept
in touch off and on all these years. I guess I thought it was odd I hadn't heard
from her or seen any pictures from her for awhile... but brushed it off. Well,
to you Art... we are sorry for your loss and wish you the best. Funny how you don't realize how much someone has touched your life until they are gone.
God Bless

Peggy Moser

October 26, 2010

Wish heaven had a phone,so I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that's nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that, too. I think of you in silence. I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. If only I had been able to say goodbye.

Art...we are so sorry for the loss of your dear Kathy. We are all in shock! Although she is gone from here, God will never take away the loving memories you have of her. May you always keep her in your heart!
We have many fond memories of the fun times we had together with you and Kathy. We are so fortunate to have known her and will cherish the long friendship we shared. I know Jim will miss their late night visiting, talking about old times and the many friends from Dulzura. Kathy was a wonderful person and a friend to all. We are so sorry you are grieving. Please know we are here for you. May God keep you in his care now and always... Love you! Jim and Linda Kelley

It seems you only truly meet a few great friends in life, for life. Kathy was one that I met while we both worked at San Diego Federal. You were gone in the Navy most of that time. We have always stayed in contact and email and facebook had renewed our friendship in the last few years. I know that your lose is immeasurable. I just know she is smiling down upon you. You are in my thoughts and prayers always.

October 5, 2010

To Art and all who knew Kathy, my thoughts and prayers are with you. When I knew Kathy I was only about 6 and remember her as the teenage friend of my brothers. I also remember when my ex-husband and I had dinner with you and Kathy. We had such a good time. I think Jim and Linda were there too.
I am glad you have had the joy of Kathy in your life for so many years.Take comfort as she is still in your heart and memories.
Love,Betty Nettleton (Kelley)

Art, you may not remember me, but we owned Nana and Paw Paw's Comfy Kitchen in Jamul, back in the 80s. I saw Kathy a few weeks ago at the Chinese buffet in RSD, but didn't say hi because she was with friends. I'm sorry that I didn't. My husband, Fred, and I have been married 43 years, as well, so I know the emptiness you must feel. You are in my prayers as you heal, and know that Kathy will greet you at the gates of heaven. God bless you as you grieve.

Dear Art, Our hearts go out to you and we pray that you receive comfort knowing how much you were loved and how happy you made Kathy. She won't be forgotten. Pete having known her longer than I - went to Dulzura School with her and I met her on the High School Bus. In these later years we got together at school reunions and had a blast in Las Vegas with the Dulzura/Barrett Group. Memories are a wonderful thing and we pray God blesses you with many. Love, Pete & Jo Murphy See you Saturday.

To Art and others who held Kathy dear:
Kathy and I were coworkers and friends for several years at Union Bank. I have fond memories of her talking about Art, her cats, and her large collection of birds. She enriched my life when times were tough and I'm sure many will miss her. I wish that I had kept up with her. My prayers are with you. Adjusting to life after the loss of a spouse is tough as I know too well.
