Kathy,
I am very sorry of the passing of your mother. I know you have been there for her during her time of need and you will never regret that. No matter how much you knew it was coming it is hard to put that finality on her life. She will always be with you in spirit. May she rest in peace. My love and prayers go out to you and your family.

To Kathy Newton,
My prayer for you is that our heavenly Father will give you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that you might be called a tree of righteousness, the planting of the Lord and that God might be glorified in you!
Love,
Alva

Kathy, you have my deepest sympathy following the loss of your beloved mother, Elizabeth. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Kathy, I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. You spoke of her fondly over the years I have known you. We all know you to be the loving, faithful and diligent daughter she was blessed to have. You continue to follow in her loving example and I'm honored to know you because of the love and care you have shown me. That type of compassion is usually passed on by example - your mother. So, I send my love, prayers and condolences to you and your family. RIP to your mother-Ms....
