"See this finger, see this thumb, see this fist, you better run!" I will never let the boys forget that one. Nor will any of us forget you.

Kathy always had smile to give and a listening ear if it was needed. She is one of those persons that will not be easily forgotten. I have enjoyed spending the last fourty years or so as a friend and we all will miss you, so until we meet again. Our heart felt prayers are with you and your family. May the Lord show you his awesome love during this time.

Dear family and friends of Kathy,

I am so sorry for the loss of such a caring and compassionate woman. Kathy was too wonderful of a person to go so soon. My prayers were with Kathy and all of you throughout her entire battle. May her newly found peace be with all of you...

I am very proud to have Kathy as my sister. She overcame many
obstacles in her life. I am very proud of the way she turned her
life around. I will always remember the time we shared in Hawaii. She didn't have a care in the world. I will miss her terribly.
I love you Kat. Have fun playing
spite and malice, and cribbage with dad.
