Not sure what to say?

I knew Kathy when she was in 5th and 6th grade. She lived at the end of Plato Ct. in Park Stockdale. I knew her friend Shannon who lived down the same street. I´ve thought about that time in my life many times both Kathy and Shannon were close friends. My distant memories of Kathy are so positive. Really nice girl. As pretty as can be. I´m sad to hear of her passing and my condolences go out to her family and many friends. Mike Crocker

Dearest Kath, Not a day goes by that I don´t think of you. I´ll miss you forever

Kathy was my best friend from 6th grade through High School. We moved to Park Stockdale and Kathy lived at the end of the street. Because of our adventures we should have been grounded most of Jr High and High School, but we never got caught. And we had fun! I moved, she moved and sadly we grew apart. But my heart has never forgotten her. Kathy always had laughter surrounding her and I am so sorry for all of her family and close friends. A loss for this world

Phil, so sorry to hear this. Thinking of all your family. Mike and Sandy, you too. High school 50 years ago doesn't seem so long ago. Oh yea, Kathy busted me with photos of Mexico cruise to my wife. Always loved seeing you two. RIP K

My beautiful sister was the bravest & strongest person I have ever known. I will miss her every day of my life. Her courage & love has been an inspiration to all of us who knew her. My life will never be the same without you, Kath Until we meet again Tracey

All of us Dr Herreras office are saddened to hear about Kathy´s passing. Her smile was contagious and her perseverance thru her illness was unmatched. May your memories of her bring a smile to your heart!!! Hugs to all you, Marci, Margaret, and Epi

Phil, I am so terribly sorry to hear about Kathy. This just absolutely breaks my heart. I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you and your sons. I had no idea you moved to OR. You are only a couple of hours from me. Just so sorry I didn´t know.

I don't remember exactly meeting Kathy but I'm sure she's the one who decided we would be friends. In the 4th and 5th grades, I and another girl would make a seat with our hands and carry Kathy around the playground when she was wearing a cast on her leg. She was very bossy and told us where to take her and to go faster. We spent many nights at each other's home as we grew up. I moved away my senior year and lost contact with her. Despite moving away, I was always included in West High...

They broke the mold when they made Kathy. One of a kind! She spoke her mind but also had a tender side too. Gonna miss my old tennis partner. Love you Kathy. R.I.P
