Katherine Padin

I am just learning of Katherine's passing and am saddened by the loss. I had the opportunity to observe and get to know Katherine during my internship at the Fayetteville VR Office. The care and dedication she showed to her clients was above reproach. She will surely be missed in the VR community.

My heart and prayers go out to the Padin Family. Kathy was one of a kind. I was blessed to have her in my classroom not once but in two different grades. She loved life, always had a smile, and cared for those around her. May she find peace with Our Heavenly Father. She set her goals high for herself and worked hard to reach them. Much love to her family, you raised a true asset to the world.

RIP Katherine, you will be missed.

As a new client, I'd been assigned to Ms Padin caseload but I've never had the opportunity to speak with her. However, from what I've heard she was and still is in memory, a wonderful asset to the VR office that will be truly missed by coworkers & clients alike. My prayers are truly heartfelt for the families loss at this time. God bless! Jimmie Lewis

Katherine Padin was truely one of a kind. My thoughts are with her family and extended family at the Fayetteville VR office. My heart aches for you but I know God is an incredible God and He will strengthen and comfort you through it all.

I'm heartbroken for the loss of Kathy. She was the sweetest woman. Elisa was a wonderful mother to her, she cared for her so deeply. And I know she is feeling this loss just as much. Love you Elisa. RIP Kathy.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Padin Family. The Fayetteville VR Family and clients will miss Katherine. She was sincere in the work that she did for her clients and various aspects of our agency. It is my hope that conversations, memories and pictures/videos of Katherine will be a source of comfort to all who knew her.

My thoughts and prayers are with Kathy's family. I pray the Lord grants this family peace, comfort and strength, when coping with such a great loss.

I only worked with Katherine for a short period of time, but was greatly impacted by her determination to succeed in life. Take comfort in knowing that she did. She will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I worked with Katherine at the VR office is Fayetteville right before I relocated to Minnesota. She was a kind hearted individual and I will miss her. Liz Fairfax, Lino Lakes, MN
