Kathy was a most remarkable lady. She seemed to sense when there was a need and jumped right in to help. She was there for me and when I'd say no she didn't listen and for that I was grateful. I will miss her as will so many other people. You, Ian and your family are so loved. If ever I can do anything please let me know.

"Grandma" Kathy, I love you very much. I loved getting movies from you every day. I liked playing with your grandchildren all the time and I loved helping you and getting treats when I was a good girl. It was very nice of you to take me to the birthday party with you and Ian. Thank you for making blankies and burp clothes for my baby brother. I love you very much and I love Ian. Love, Audrey

Kathy, you were the most generous and caring woman we have ever met. You took our children in as your own grandchildren and we will never forget that. Living with you and Ian the last 8 months was wonderful and the timing, I believe, was not coincidence. We needed you in our lives and we love you and Ian dearly. Knowing you was a true blessing to us and you will not be forgotten. Ian, we love you and we are praying peace and comfort for you at this difficult time.
Love and Prayers,
Paul, Stephanie, Audrey and Louis

I had fond memories of kathy dated back to Junior high. I was lucky to have been able to see her at our Jr High reunion 34 years later. I remember her contagous laugh, smile and sence of humor. I have thought of Kathy over the years and will continue too. Another bright star has risen and I hope that she is at peace. My sympathy to Ian and her family may God bless you at this time. Diane

Ian,
Thank you for taking Kathy to our little reunion last Sunday. It was really good to see her one last time. I am really sorry for your loss. I hope she found peace.

Dear Johnsons, your Mom was a fantastic woman. She helped out so many people. She loved hard and deep, everyone in her life. I will always remember her giving to those in need. She loved her husband, children, and grandchildren, in fact I don't think there wasn't a child she didn't love. I am eternally grateful for her help with my 2 children while I worked, and her thoughtfulness when she saw the needs in anyone she came across. I am sorry for what your family is going through, but very grateful to have know her and had her be a part in our lives. I hope she is happy and enjoying her live around us now. Bless your family in your time of need. Lots of love to your family.
