Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. We were blessed to have Kathy in our Bible study last winter at Keystone. She was a dear person, a kind-hearted woman who was taken from this life much too soon. She will be greatly missed.

Paul and Christopher,
I just want you to know that Kathy will always be in my heart as you are. I will never forget her telling me she had met the love of her life. It was you Paul, and when I met you I knew the two of you were perfect for each other. Christopher you may not remember me but I have a son a little older than you and when Kathy and I were flying together we were discussing Halloween. I had a really neat Lion Costume that my son had worn the year before and I talked Kathy into...

Kathy,
I feel so fortunate to have met you when we were not much older than Christopher, flying for Ozark. You are such a dear, sweetly genuine person. You were so easy to love. I’ll never forget the day in the St.Louis airport I ran into you after not seeing you for some time. You were sparkling as I’d never seen you shine before. You had met and fallen in love with Paul Whitfield. It was magical to see how absolutely thrilled you were. I couldn’t wait to meet Paul. When I did, I...

There are no words in any language that could possibly make this time a little easier to get through. I will always have Kathy in my heart with the fondest of memories. I and everyone that knew her were truly blessed to have her in our lives. No better friend could anyone have, no better laugh, could anyone hear, no more beautiful smile, could anyone see. I truly won the lottery of life when Kathy, Paul, Christopher, and the entire Snell & Whitfield family accepted me into their lives. That...

Dear Paul & Christopher, words cannot express the sadness I am feeling over the loss of Kathy - such a beautiful, kind, and caring person. I was truly blessed to know her - we had fun at Woodland Meadows planning volunteer appreciation, and I am grateful for the few times I was able to talk to her or see her this past summer. Paul, you and Kathy raised a wonderful son. I pray that you will both find comfort in all the memories that family and friends share and in your own special family...

No one could have asked for a better sister than Kathy. As many of you know Kathy was exhuberant about life and her Lord. She was a devoted wife and mother and a loyal friend to all.
From the time we were little I looked up to Kathy, she was my measure of what the perfect person could be.
She enjoyed her life, loved her husband and son and had more friends than anyone could count.
When you met Kathy, you saw a person that had a beautiful smile, a twinkle in her eyes and the most...

Kathy is one of my most cherished chilhood friends and that friendship will continue to live in my heart forever. I loved her laugh, her sense of humor and her ability to always "listen." My heart goes out to her wonderful mom and the entire family. She is truly an angel.

So many fond, happy memories growing up together, through grade school, on to high school and a few years thereafter. We were inseparable, the best of friends. I often still think your dad thought we were "velcro'd" together (which we were), always at your house, most nights sharing dinner - he probably thought it was cheaper to just feed me than to pay me to leave. We shared so many happy memories, but most of all I will remember the constant laughter, our mischievous ways and a...

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
