My dear cousins, Brian & Nancy...lots of love and prayers, especially
today as you lay your Mom to rest. I remember when I was working
at Ansul in Marinette and I had use of a free long distance line and I
used to call Aunt Kathryn on my lunch hour and had such great visits
with her. And the summer I stayed with you guys...many special
memories from that also. I will miss her a lot.

Brian and Nancy - I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. She was such a good friend to my mom (Audrey Smith), and I fondly remember the twinkle in her eye, her kindness, and the wonderful cookies she made at Christmastime.

Nancy,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds as though she had a wonderfully full life. I am thankful that in the past few years that my mom Joyce Kortuem, was able to share with your mother and past friends at the frequent lunches. I will be bringing Mom to the funeral service. You and your family are in our prayers.

Dear Nancy and Brian (and families), So sorry to hear of your loss. Aunt Kathryn is a part of some very special memories in my life. I can recall her laugh and smile, her warm welcoming way, and it gives me comfort as I'm sure it does for all of you. I've been sharing my memories with my children and in that small way Aunt Kathryn stays with us. Wishing you comfort in the love of family and friends.
