Charlie, I just found out about Kathy's passing. One thing for sure we know where she is and that she is not suffering anymore. I know that you probably miss her terribly. Sorry I didn't make it. Kathy was such a special friend to me and a wonderful prayer partner, loved her sense of humor too. Linda Campbell, Berea, KY

Charlie and family. My heart breaks for you because Kathy has left this earthly plane. However, my heart is happy that she is in heaven and no longer faces the daily travails of MS. Charlie, no person could have been a better caregiver than you have been. You have my deepest admiration for what you have done for Kathy. Peace to you and your family.

It isn't often that we see our family name among the memorial section of the newspaper. Obviously we aren't close relatives, but we are certainly members of the large and historic Ryerson clan. We noted that Kathleen was a member and teacher of a vibrant Bible-teaching church, so we know your household shares our deep commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ. Please know that we are praying for you today, and hoping the Lord is supplying a full measure of comfort and hope.
