Peggy, Ashley, Kathy, & Marty,
Although we all know our parents will not be around forever, it is still a big hurt when the time comes when we lose one. Mrs. K will always live in my memories. I will remember her wonderful cooking, especially her deviled eggs, and the many holiday meals we shared with you. I will remember how well she helped with the dogs. I will remember how tall and straight she stood even when we could detect she felt pain in her joints, but she didn't complain. She was there to support you when you needed it. Mostly, I will remember I loved her. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

Kathy, you have obviously inherited your mom's generosity of heart and caring spirit. And as a friend wrote me after the loss of my mother 4 years ago . . . "May fond memories bring you peace, and the life around you bring you comfort." With sympathy,
