Dear Steve, Mark & Kevin,

To Kathy's Family,

Steve,

I still remember my first day working for you in West Palm, you stuck your head in my office and said "I'll deal with what were going to do with you when I get back from smoking this cigarette" four years and many smoke breaks later a great friendship was born. Sometimes its remembering the funny moments and memories of good times that help us cope with such a tragic loss.

If you and the boys ever need anything please let us know.

Kevin and Stacy Traylor

Steve words can not even express the thoughts I have for you, Mark and Kevin. Kathy was a great friend and had an amazing heart. She will forever be missed. I'm honored that she named me Auntie Lisa to the kids so they had someone to call when they got home from school if they couldn't reach her.

Steve,
It has been a long time since our days in the Service, especially at VPPD. Thanks again for all of your help and friendship during that assignment. We are very sorry for your loss. I know of no words to make the passing of a loved one any easier other than the offer of help - if I can, please don't hesitate to call.

Mr. Caruso, Mark, Christina & Kevin,
Charles and I are Deeply sorry for your loss. I know personally nothing I say or do will make this situation better or take that pain away. We are here and always will be for anything that you may need.
Mary was such a sweet and caring woman it was a pleasure to have met her and talked with her.

If she played cards at all, My mother would love to have a partner by her side. I am sure along with other family members of your own, I know she will be there waiting to welcome her.
Again, We love you Mark & Christina.

Where do I begin? I can't believe she is gone so suddenly. Even though Larry and I haven't seen you for several years since Kathy's mom (and my Aunt Betty) passed away, we have thought of you often and it was always fun to get the Christmas card (usually with the glitter inside!) and the update from my "Florida cousin." I have many wonderful memories of growing up with Kathy in Cumberland,and owe my first job (working at McDonald's) to her. She was a special lady and I am proud to call her my cousin. Take care of yourselves and keep in touch. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Sheila (Bowman) and Larry Harvey

Steve and family,
The only hope we can give you is that God does things for a reason...a reason that is very hard to fathom at this moment. Bill Sims passed the sad news on to us. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you during this difficult time. I have many great memories of our work together. Steve, I know your family needs you now, but in the future, when you need to get away, we're only 5 hours north. Please pass our respect to Rich, also.
Respect and Condolences,
Bruce and Maureen Bowen
