Praying all those who knew Kathryn may know the comfort that only God can bring. I will always remember her for the love she had for Jesus Christ and the love she had for others. She was one of the few people who really cared about my relationship with Jesus which showed me in return how much more Jesus cared about my soul. What she desired more for people that they would know the Lord for themselves.

The world has lost such a great person. I ask that you all find comfort in the fact that she is now in a better place, and for the family and friends to turn to the lord to find comfort through him. She will be missed greatly, kathy was such a great person and lived to serve everyone. It was my pleasure to work side by side with you the last 5 years.
I am forever greatful for the knowledge of the world you shared with me, and for all the brilliant ideas you have always had.
You will be missed greatly

Praying God's love will bring you comfort through friends who knew and loved Kathryn. I always looked for her behind the deli counter at Town & Country and she often had time to chat. I will miss her.

Mom,

Rest in Peace. Everything good about me, every value I hold dear, and every ounce of internal strength comes from you and your example. You didn't have it easy over the past 15 years but you fought. When they diagnosed you with cancer on March 23rd, you fought. When you fell on Tuesday and they added pneumonia and sepsis to the list, your first words to me on Wednesday were "I'm staying strong and fighting hard." When we knew we were losing you and only the machines were prolonging your life, you fought until Aunt Beth could drive up from Georgia and Aunt Pat and Uncle Gil could make it from Chicago on Saturday. And even when off the ventilator on Sunday, you fought another 19 hours showing the same legacy of strength in your passing as you did in your life. I get my will to fight and never back down from you, mom.

Mom, you were much loved and touched everyone you met from your entire family to those I went to school with to those who attended our church growing up to the members of Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church to the members at Living Word Sanctuary to the women at the local Aglow chapter to your friends and customers at Town & Country Deli and to everyone who had the honor of interacting with you. Your love and light lives on in us. You will never be forgotten and are reunited with my Grandpa Richard and Grandma Pansy. Know you are looking down from heaven on us and I'll do everything in my power to make you proud until I see you again one day.

Sammy
