Such a beautiful person to be gone so soon. Too young with so much to give yet. I will pray for your family.

We were neighbors to the Breeds in the 70's and boy did we have a lot of good times....then they moved and we kept in touch through the years. I remember the time Kathleen wanted to learn to sew. Teresa called me up and I went to the house in Silverlake. Of course Kathleen wanted to make something that was out of the realm of possibility so I convinced her to try a curtain or pillowcase instead!! It was fun. I remember her sweet nature and hearing from the family about her adventures in the Navy.
It is a difficult concept to grasp when the young go first but as we all age, it is obvious that it is the way it happens in the world.
Our love to Glen, Teresa, Betsy and all who loved her and will miss her. Please take care of yourselves and let the healing begin.
Lovingly,

Dear Glenn & Teresa,

I was dismayed to learn of the tragic, untimely death of your lovely daughter. I hope the prayers in my heart can in some small way help your pain to lessen. Charlotte McCoy

Kathy and I attended HCHS together. She was always a kind and generous person, often putting the needs of others before her own. She was a tremendous support during a personal matter, even when fighting her own battles. She will always be remembered.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Kathy was a beautiful person and I have never forgotten her kind nature.

I know that Kathleen's spirit will forever bless her family and friends. I have not seen Kathleen for many years but have been able to keep updated on her life by her mom who has kept in touch with my mom. Even way back when I knew Katheleen, she was a very gracious and kind spirited person and I hear she remained that way throughout her life. She will be truly missed by many as she left a beautiful mark upon this world. Schana Odell
