May the Lord bless you with comfort and peace and may you always remember your wife, mother and grandmother as the spiritual, kind and thoughtful woman that she was and continues to be. Living in Pepperwood I would often pass her and many times we stopped and talked on our early morning walks. I believe she always took great comfort in these peaceful moments as she enjoyed this beautiful world. She always faced every challenge with courage and faith. What a great example she has been to me! I am blessed to have known her.

I was very saddened by the passing of such a wonderful person as Kathy. I lived in the area for 30 years and I always loved and admired Kathy. I haven't seen her for a few years, but I will never forget what a loving, kind person she was and how she introduced my children to the joy of reading. On behalf of my children and myself, we send our deepest sympathy. Christene Easton (Pulsipher). Mountain Green, Utah

Our deepest sympathy to all the Bradley family. My husband and I went to high school with Kathy and so we are flooded with fond memories of carefree times spent with her. It was a delightful surprise when we discovered several years ago that we lived close by each other and that our children now were attending high school together. We are so sorry for the two losses your family has suffered in such a short period of time with the loss of Bunny and now Kathy. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

I want to express my deepest sympathy and love to the Bradley family. I grew up with the Bradley boys and can attest to what a wonderful mother she was. She touched many lives and will be so missed.

Kathy was one of my favorite parents; smart, kind, and very supportive. In fact, I named my 2nd daughter Nicole after one of my favorite students at Indian Hills, Nicole Bradley.
I lost my Dad in February, so I know how difficult this will be. My thoughts and prayers are with the wonderful Bradley family.

We are sitting on a plane reading this beautifully written obituary. The Bradley family has wonderfully intersected our lives for many years. And while we knew the boys and Craig far better than Kathy, it is certainly Kathy who had a huge hand in creating such a wonderful family.

Luke, Seth, Joe, Nicky and Craig--we will reach out to you when we return. In the meantime, we send our love and prayers from afar.

Dear Craig and children, While I only met Kathy on a couple of occasions, she conveyed a goodness, compassion, and honesty that was so evident. Craig, I'm sure that your life with Kathy echoed the warmth, cooperation, and love that you learned from Mildred and Ralph. In a world wherein misery and futility are often the legacy provided by parents, you were very fortunate to have had exemplary families that helped the two of you to created a wonderful life. My deepest condolences, to you all, in this time of mourning--and remembering the precious moments that you shared. Nothing compares with the nurturing of a fine mother, and the love of a good wife and friend. Michael Sorbonne Robinson, Sr.

Craig and Family -

Julie and I were deeply saddened to learn of your loss. Kathy fought a good fight, but before that she contributed so much. We will always look back on the great times we had together. Our only regret is that they didn't continue much beyond the University 5th Ward.

Being in China right now, completing a year of teaching English with the BYU China Teachers Program, we will not be able to express our condolences in person. We are thinking of and praying for you at this time.

Best wishes as you move forward from this point in time.

Sincerely,
Dave & Julie Monson

I am so sorry for your loss. Kathy and I became good friends at the U of U. Of course marrying into the great Bradley family made us family. Please know that my prayers are with all of you. Craig I know this will be hard for you but I know the Lord will be there to lift all of you up. She was a wonderful person. My love to all of you.

Although you don't know me, I wanted to express my sympathies to you. My mother also had PSP. After her diagnosis, she fought so hard for seven years, finally passing away last year. I know you will always cherish your memories of her, and I hope you will also cherish the time you had caring for her during her illness. Best wishes!

Please accept our sincere sympathy at your loss. We are currently serving a mission in up-state NY and received a call from our Adam informing us of Kathy's passing and we were flooded with memories of Kathy and your whole family. She was always so willing to have our boys over to build forts, dig holes, camp out and whatever else they did and we always appreciated that. We'll never forget her beautiful lessons in RS or Gospel Doctrine and her wealth of knowledge. She taught so many, so well. She will be greatly missed but heaven will be greatly blessed at her presence. Please know we are thinking of and praying for you all. Love, Fred and Annette Ghiz

My symphany goes out to all of you and know that others truly did love and respect your mom. Don Ward
