Kathy knew that "It's in the valley that I grow". She's finished with her journey here and is walking in Heaven's Glory. What a day of rejoicing that will be when we all meet again.

I am Brenda's mother. Even though I am far away, I will miss Kathy. I got to visit with her at Thanksgiving each year and it was always a good time. I always knew that my grandchildren were in good hands with her. She always had a smile on her face and loved a good joke. Her happiness always made me feel good. She had a way of making me feel welcome even though I didn't see her often. She loved to teach Lance & Ashley many things including numbers, colors and such. I'm so sorry for Gary, Corey, Brenda, Lance and Ashley that they have lost such a wonderful person. I'm sorry that I didn't get to know her better as I live so far away. I know she loved to e-mail many inspiring and cute things to us all. I will miss Kathy this November especially. Thanksgiving will not be the same but we'll have to have a good time because she'll be watching.
