I will miss her comming and going to see Marge. Jim I don't have to tell you about Kathy, you know she could not have been blessed with a greater man, or person, or kinder than yourself. She loved you all. My heart and prayers go out to all of you and to the Folks from New York.

Dear Marge, Kathy was so proud of
you and loved you dearly - she saw
you as her hero and loved telling us
all of your sense of humor and fun - I hope you can get through this
terrible time and be in some way
consoled that she fell asleep on
her sofa and did not suffer. With my deepest condolences for your loss.

Dear Mrs Byrnes, Jim and families,

My heart breaks for you all. I have been lucky enough to know Kathy for the past 10 years or so as a neighborhood friend. She always put a smile on my face and I know she had the same effect on others. May God be with you in your sorrow.
