To the Family of Kay Peterson,
I had the honor of being Kay's nurse when she was hospitalized last April. She has left a profound impression on me, never to be forgotten. You are blessed to have had her in your life.

Dear Peterson & Simmons Family - Our hearts are very heavy as we read of your familys great loss. We were neighbors for years and I used to babysit for Jason & Lisa. Kathy's bubbly personality and giggle was infectious. I will always remember her as the beautiful blonde girl next door and the devoted, passionate mother to her children. Our deepest sympathy and our prayers are with your family.

To Kathy's family-I just read about her death in the Herald. I'm so sorry. I worked with her at Dr. Rice's office. Marlene Sherriff(also, from that dentist office)and I were together last Saturday night and were talking about calling and taking Kathy to lunch soon, not knowing about her death. We both loved her very much. Please know how sorry I feel that we waited too long to take her for that lunch. She was a very bright light in that office. I will always remember her infectious laugh! It's something that I will never forget. Pammy Sue, I'm so sorry you lost your sister. I have so many memories of the two of you together, having fun. May she finally be at peace without pain.
