I am just now finding this page but I felt it important to share with the family what a direct impact Mrs. Cornforth had on my son's life. She was his English teacher and taught him how to write a research paper. I was forever grateful to her for this, at the time, some 7 years ago. My son went on to be accepted to Fordham University in NYC and graduated in 3 1/2 years with a degree in history. I believe Mrs. Cornforth was instrumental in my son's acceptance in to this elite University that has a very competitive acceptance rate. His success in school and acceleration as a history major was also a direct result of Mrs. Cornforth's teaching, since most of what his studies required was to write papers. I was deeply moved to hear of her death, as was my son when he called from college to tell me. She surely did not know the impact that she made on so many lives. This is a great loss not only for you, her family, but for the students who had her as their teacher and for those students that will never know her. God bless and may she rest in peace.

To Steve, Joe and Kathryn. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you try to cope with this great loss. Kathi was a wonderful mother, sister, teacher and friend, and she will be missed by many whom she touched. She was very special to my son Frank, as he spent much time with your family. Try to focus on the many good times you shared as you grew from children into fine young adults. May those memories comfort you, and know that she is at peace.
Love, Karen & Frank, Frank, Laurel and Stacie Johnson

IF ROSES GROW IN HEAVEN
If Roses grow in heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my sisters arms
and tell her they're from me
Tell her that I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy.
I do it every day,
but there's an ache witin my heart
that will never go away
God Bless Kathi,,, May she forever Rest In Peace

May all those who loved Kathi and were loved by Kathi feel God's grace in their time of sorrow and His love with Kathi's in their time of healing. Farewell too soon to a loving and caring mom. Missing already all the conversations and special times we were to share; just know they will always be shared in heart and spirit.

As a former student, I think of Ms. Cornforth and the lessons she taught me often. My heart goes out to her family and friends and I hope that you find comfort in your memories of her. She was an incredibly special person and her influence on the thousands of students' lives she touched will never be forgotten.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
