"And he will raise you up on eagles' wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand."

You were truly an angel walking this earth. I am so grateful to have been able to have known you, but even more blessed to call you friend. Thank you for all the love you gave me and my family, especially baby Belle.

Kathy was a treasure in my life. She was always there to help others without expectation, which to me is the true definition of giving. I worked along side her in real estate for years and enjoyed every minute of it. When I was fighting cancer 10 years ago she handled my business when I didn't have the strength. I guess you could say she was the strength. I will miss her and give her a final blessing to honor all the blessings she brought to my family.

Momma,

Thank you for showing us that being a Mom meant loving your kids and family no matter what. You were always so patient and kind, a soft place to land when I had a hard day. Each time you told people you had 2 daughters, I glowed inside because you are the Mother of my heart. You are irreplaceable and I will never forget you. I love you and will miss you terribly. We have all suffered a terrible loss this week.

Mom I have so many great memories going back in time. Everything from hearing you yell from the bleachers at my hockey games as a kid to being there when our daughter was born and all the visits you made to Colorado. Even when you would make me laugh by teasingly calling me "your cute little baby boy"... just last week. I'll treasure them always. Parker, Alesa and I will miss you more than we can express.

Love,

Your Son

I didn't realize how much you were a part of me. Sisters...from sharing a room, to sharing secrets, clothes, and everything in between. I'll always treasure the memories we made together. I miss you and will always keep you in my heart.

Now, who is going to boss me around?

Love,
Your sister

We will miss Kathy in a way that can't be put into words. She was a neighbor, friend, nanny and a role model. We will miss her smile, her laugh, her kindness, and her genuine caring ways. She always put everyone else 1st. You have left a huge hole in our hearts and our family. We miss you!!

-Doug and Steph

Thanks Kathy for watching out for us to make sure we got on the bus everyday. We will miss playing games with you and destroying your house with Parker and Andrea when we baked cakes.

I will miss you Granny Kat.
