Dear Mike, Kasey and Dan,

We have such fond memories of our times together as neighbors. My children (all three) always felt so very much at home with you all. Not an easy feat. Kathy was always so very kind and accepting, so supportive and encouraging, and so very welcoming. She kept the court running smoothly, always willing to pitch in wherever needed. She had such a generous nature. We feel very blessed to have known her. May you find comfort in knowing she lives on in our hearts. We hold you close in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Steve, Karen, Travis, Tim and Trevor Huser

Dear Mike, Kasey and Dan, when we moved to Naperville so many years ago Kathy welcomed us so generously with open arms. She touched my soul...her spirit will live on in each of you and in those she has touched. I continue to pray for you. May "He" be with you in your time of need. Love, Jan Sypniewski
