Aunty Kathy,
We are going to miss you. Ever since I was little you were there, I always called you my Aunty Kathy and you always treated me like a nephew and a God-son.

Kathy, We had over 50 years of friendship that I will not forget. When I think about those memories it makes me smile. Grade school, high school, summers at the lake, parties at your house, just hanging out with friends, weddings, kids, dinners, and more. We will miss you but have wonderful memories to help fill the void. We love you and will miss you, but we know that you are in a better place. Love from Sonny, Barbara, your God-sons, Dan & Dave, Amy & Kailani

What a wonderful person Kathy was - she had so much love to give and was always doing something nice for someone. I will miss her so much but happy that she is no longer in pain. I can visualize her playing cards with all her friends who have gone before her.

Kathy will be so missed by all she touched, and all that loved her. Kathy was one of the sweetest women we know. Who would make a wedding dinner for 250 people just to do it? Kathy & Jim! I know for ever you will be touching the hearts of people... I thank God I was able to visit with you the last Monday, pray with you.... and Thank you for being you and doing so much for me and everyone around you. You truly have left a mark on this world.. and now... you are wearing those Angel wings, so much deserved..... watching over all of us... Until we meet again, Thank you! Love, Ree & Pat Duffy
