Not sure what to say?

My heart is so sad. Kathy taught me how to laugh and love my daughter for her sassy, loving, crazy ways. Kathy always said she understood and saw herself in Ruby. They understood each other. I loved to laugh with Kathy every single day at Fruit and Flower. I loved her stories and her energy. My heart goes out to her family. The world has lost a truly good one.

After caring for Kathy for many years it was easy to tell how special she was. Despite her disease she was almost always warm and cheerful. If she wasn't, it was clear that there was something wrong even if she didn't want to mention it. In this field there are always certain patients that you somehow feel more attached to because of their personality. Kathy was one of those patients. I will miss seeing her after all of our times together. My thoughts are with her family and friends who...

I will forever miss Kathy. She was one of a kind. I will miss her smile and her possitive personality.I had the great privlige of working with Kathy. We became fast friends and enjoyed working with each other!

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Kathy. May she watch over us and may we continue her message of faith, love and peace. RIP Kathy. :)

Can't tell you how saddened I was when I read of Kathy's passing. I first had the opportunity to know her and work along side her when I worked in the infant center at Fruit & Flower Daycare. She was always so full of the love for life. She was wonderful with children and anyone who had the opportunity to have her as their children's caregiver was truly blessed. I know she will be greatly missed.

Kathy took care of our babies at Fruit and Flower and is one of the reasons we had our daughter. She loved our babies and we loved having her care for them. We hope she is dancing freely now with her wonderful smile lighting up the world.

I was shocked and saddened to see Kathy's obituary in the paper today. She helped to care for both of my sons (Sam and Nick Roberts) when they were at Fruit and Flower. She had a wonderful way with children, and was dear to our hearts. To her family: I'm so sorry for your loss,please know she was well loved, and helped us to raise wonderful children.

I am so sad to hear of Kathy's passing. She cared for our daughter in the "infant room" at Fruit and Flower, and she was such a joy to be around. Kathy taught us young parents so much about how to care for kids. We went back to visit year after year. She always had a smile and hug for our kids, and she also kept the big "1" candle she put in our daughter's birthday cake. May her memory be a blessing.

Harold - I am so sorry to hear of your sister's passing. I hope and trust that your happy memories help you through this time of grief.
