Your wife, your mother, your sister Kathy, was a wonderful person. I remember her smile, laughter and openness. I am so sorry for your saddness. I lit a fire in honor of Kathy, and to help light her way onward.

I met Kathy a couple of times through her sister, Patti, and daughter, Gena. She was always welcoming to new people in her home. My sympathies go out to the family. May your memories give you peace at this time.

Dear Tom, Kim, Gena, Sandy, Kathleen, and LeAnn and family: I cannot find the words that express my sorrow over losing a great and dear friend and wonderful neighbor. No one could ask for a more caring, considerate and true friend than Kathy. It was plain to see how she loved her family and how she enjoyed her hobbies when she was able. Her presence will always shine in the faces of her children and grandchildren; also in the other beautiful things she left for us to enjoy - for instance her creative talents in her garden and the new-found joy of scrap booking.
How blessed we all are to have shared her love and her life. I will miss her so.

STRONG NEVER GIVING UP ALWAYS FIGHTING AND STAYING STRONG FOR THOSE THAT DON'T HAVE YOUR STRENGTH.

Mom, that was and always has been you. You were all of our rocks you kept us all strong when we couldn't be. You have taught me that you can love and be loved in a shared role and that there is hope. You have taught that when things are rough you can't give up you have to keep fighting and in the end you will be a better person.

Mom, that is what you taught me that there is no stronger bond then family and without family it is impossible to be happy.

I wasn't as close with you as Gena, Sandy or even LeAnn but you and I shared our moments and I wouldn't be the strong independent women that I am today if I didn't have you to show me the way.

I'm sure you and I will share many more of the private moments and you will continue to guide me in the right direction through the Lord.

love you!

Until we are together again.

Dearest Sister,
I will miss you so. Who will be there to teach the special things that no one can. I will think of you daily. You and Tom were always there when no one else could handle me. Through my teenage years you were there to show me what I should be doing, instead of what I thought was the right way.
When ever I called to whine about a receipe that didn't taste how you made it, you were there to say "did you add this?" I will always need you for the little touches in my life, so I hope that when I pray to you and ask "where did I go wrong" I will be able to hear your answers. I Love You and will miss you dearly.

Thank you Lord for the life we had together, you gave her to us and now she is with you.
I love you Sissy, I will never stop missing you until I see you again, and I will see you, becasue our hope is in Christ Jesus.
