Still hard to believe that Kathie's life is over. We all enjoyed her life.
She was full of life. She has & will be missed. I met her in Alpharetta and she helped make work more tolerable.

Kathie, Mike Graves and I had a wonderful trip to Iowa ( to see Wayne ) and Chicago. Wish we had more trips like that one. Thanks for the great memories.

With everyone busy schedule, time can really past you by before you realize it. Kathy will be in my thoughts, Heart felt sympathy to Kevin a real friend and companion to Kathy. Kathy is in GOD's house now.

Kathie (Girlfriend), you will be missed deeply. Your "forever" positive outlook in seeing the good in everything will never be forgotten. I'll still look to you up above for the inspiration I'll need when times are tough. My love and prayers go out to Kevin and her family. She was certainly a special, beautiful companion, mother, grandmother, and friend...

I, too, hadn't been in touch in with Kathy for at least a dozen years when we were at AT&T in Atlanta together. Wayne Edwards informed me of the shocking news. I had many happy hours with her in and out of the workspace. She was truly talented and creative. She always gave it everything she had...Rest easy, Kathy. Randy

I was sadden to hear of Kathy's passing. I had come to know Kathy through her mother, Hannah, whom I loved dearly. Kathy had her mom's spirit and zest for life and I am so sorry for the void she has left in the lives of all that knew her. Peace and fond memories to the family - my heart is with you.
