Kathy and I were in a Bible Study together. She had a sweet and gentle spirit. Even when her health issues became serious, her attitude was a witness to us all. She had a peace that only comes from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I am deeply saddened by her loss, but rejoice at the very thought of her reception in Heaven. My deepest sympathy to her boys and their families. She spoke so lovingly of you all.

David and Joe,
I am so sad to hear of your moms passing. She was a special person and I enjoyed spending time with her at the dentist. Take Care

Joe and David, I was so very sorry to read of your moms passing. She came every week to the hair salon at the Park Terrace and we would have so many wonderful talks while I did her hair. She has been truly missed by myself and many of the friends she made while living here. I will always remember her as the sweet, smiling,and always happy person she was. May your memories of her bring you comfort. My deepest sympathy to you both and all your family.
