Not sure what to say?

Kathy was my roommate our Freshman year at the University of South Carolina. She was a delight to be around and her discipline was contagious. We traveled to her home in Latta and I experienced the Southern hospitality of her friends and family. Kathy (as I called her) is a treasured memory.

Dear Martin, I don't know why it has taken me so long to express what your beautiful wife, Kathy Frost, meant to me. I got the chance to know her when I became her temporary XO in 2000 - a 2 week stint which turned into 6 weeks where I gained a lifelong mentor and friend. What I remember most about your beautiful wife is how she made me feel so special and appreciated. Even after I returned to my primary duties, she would stop down to say "Hi." As the host for my retirement ceremony, her...

Major General Frost was truly a sweet person, always taking the time out to walk around the AHRC Office to speak to the employees. She knew everyone by their names. She was a person first and a General last. She never flaunted her rank, authority or power. She was truly what every christian should strive to be. If any of us are blessd enough to get to Heaven, Be sure to call her name and she will answer because she will remember yours.

We are proud to have known such a remarkable officer and lady! Gwen, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

Her influence on me was life-changing and my many memories are of her gentle spirit, determination,consistency and patience. May my young friend 'Kathy' rest in peace, job so well done.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of MG Kathy Frost. We will miss her at our White House Military Aides Assn Events. I had the pleasure of seeing her at our last event this past Spring at the University Club in DC. She came to me to say hello before she departed with her husband...

I served 38 years in the Navy and had the pleasure of serving the last three under MGEN Frost. I served for no finer commander. Taking care of service men and women was the most important thing to her. She always wanted to find a way to say yes when a request came her way. When she entered the room her energy and positive attitude filled the space and mades us all want to try a little harder. She brought out the best in her all that had the pleasure to serve with her. I will always hold her...

We at Scholastic were saddened to hear about the loss of Major General Kathy
Frost. A few years ago, we had the honor to work with her on a charming
story for children about a World War II Army dog named Snitch. The story,
which was published in special Memorial Day issues, reached millions of
children in our Scholastic classroom magazines.

Major General Frost was dedicated to sharing this story, which was told to
her by Bruce Lane at a ceremony for the...

I first met Kathy in 1981 when she was a captain in Berlin and my boss when I was a first lieutenant. We remained friends all through these years and I had the unique honor of participating in her significant change of command ceremonies when she was a Colonel and as The Adjutant General. I was very honored when she asked me to be the guest Speaker at the Adjutant General Ball in Washington, DC in 2002. No matter what she achieved in life MG Frost always wanted to be known as "Kathy" in...
