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.

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

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.

The Fayetteville VR Office feels so empty without Katherine. She was a leader of so many team activities. Staff are emailing everyone about wonderful stories of how she enriched their lives. Clients will miss her. She was an inspiration to all, with a great zest for life. hope that sweet memories will give you peace and comfort.
