My deepest sympathy to everyone. Kathy went to San Francisco many years ago with Sheila Parker and myself. I'm from Norwood originally. We have known each other for years. She was the sweetest, kindest person I've ever met. She loved her family so much. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you very much Kathy for sharing your life, affection and care to our family in many little ways. When we came for a visit, we always felt very much welcomed and accepted with love, care and affection as if we are from your very own. Fe, our dear sister married to Jim your son was truly blessed with you as her mother-in-law. We are equally blessed with the association. We truly miss you, your motherly smiles and warm hugs. We wish we could spend more time together as an extended family, but now that you are gone, the happy memories you have left will keep us going, knowing you will be around to oversee us. We are forever indebted to your shared love and affection. You will always be in our prayers. We love you so much like our Mom too. You are indeed a Mom, Grand Ma, a dear Friend and a great comforter and companion to many lives you have touched.
To Jim Jr, Julie, Jim III & Fe and the whole family of Naff's - our deepest condolences, our sincerest sympathies for a big loss. John & Mae
