We are saddened to hear of Kathy's passing. She was such a testament to being a true fighter, giving her all. Life was not easy for her, yet she endured it anyway. In this, what an amazing gift she gave you all. May the memory of her smile warm you like the sun and enrich you all of your days.

Frank, Kristy and family.
When we loose a loved one our memories get us through the days to come. May you have comforting moments, many smiles and feel loved when you all sit and recall her smile, her wit, and remember her life. Since our families have met and spent many wonderful times together, I have certainly loved hearing her life stories. My heart goes out to your families. Love you all dearly, Pam Starky.
