Dear Kathy,
You stepped off the train of this life far too soon for those of us left to finish our ride. So many of us just can't believe that you've moved on to the Loving Arms of God. Rest now, and breathe easy. Until we meet again, my dear friend...
Dear family and friends,
My deepest condolences, prayers and thoughts. I will always remember the family times spent at Wildwood, the Christmas parties at Trudy and Dave's, and the summer parties at Shelly and Jeff's. Kathy will forever remain in my heart. Please remember her wishes for us all.
Love,
Cyndi

"Princess" Auntie K, our time together was so special, she always had a smile and love and words of advice that helped me grow and become a person I hope she is proud of! Favorite memories include times at the beach with the HEAPS OF FUN sisters, Pat, Nancy, Carol, Maryanne and Beth that included Christmas Party time! Always up for fun! Will miss you so much! Love, Shelly
