Kathryn Sparks Memoriam

In Loving Memory
Kathryn Michele Sparks
Oct. 4, 1960 - Nov. 29, 2016
Kathryn Michele Sparks, of Sunnyvale, beloved daughter of Jack and Marie Sparks of Cupertino. We who cherished you and miss you will always remember your bright spirit and loving heart. You departed this world a year ago after an unbelievably gallant fight with colon cancer and a lifetime of living with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Yet despite your hardships, your passionate love of life, lively sense of humor, and unfailing generosity to your family and wide circle of friends made you a marvel and a treasure to all who knew you and cherished you. There will never be another person like you.
