Kirsten,
I've been praying for you! I'll always remember your mom volunteering at Chapel Hill....helping in any way she could! She loved the school, but more importantly, she loved YOU and always wanted the best for you! God bless you, Kirsten! I'll keep you in my prayers!
Love,
"Mrs. Wood"

Kathy was an inspiration to me from her work with FCAP (Fellowship of Christian Airline Personnel), to her work @ NWA/Delta. She was a strong woman of faith & I have admired her greatly. She would say now to us, "Keep the faith!" Blessings dear one.

What a strong and inspiring Christian witness Kathy gave to all, especially to me, through her CaringBridge messages over the last year. She told of Christ's sufficiency, knowing that "He would never leave her or forsake her". She is rejoicing now in his presence!

Kathy and I were in Flt. Training (1969). I will miss her very much. While working at the Union office in MSP she was a golden spirit to all.She had a peacefulness about her that was contagious. Gone,yes,but NEVER forgotten

Kathy was my mentor, my friend and my Christian big sister. She made a lasting impact on countless lives. Her work with the Fellowship of Christian Airline Personnel was a labor of love and she worked tirelessly at it. She was extremely loyal to her friends and to her deep-rooted values. All who loved her will miss her however we rejoice at her new life in heaven.
