Brother, it's already been a month since Kathy left us. I can't process that, just like her actual passing, I can't process that either. Such a shock. In times like this, words just don't seem to make the days without her any easier. Routines are jumbled. Questions left unanswered. Days and nights are blurred. We look to God more now than ever to give us strength to navigate these uncharted waters all while holding emotions together with family, friends and neighbors. With God's strength, we will get past the pain. He has a way of activating our memories to recall the way Kathy made us laugh. Her funny stories about her life experiences. She truly was a beautiful soul and I'm glad you found each other so early in life to have so many years of laughter and love. Cling to your memories of her and she will bring a smile to your heart daily. George and I think of you and the girls every day. You are in our prayers and we are here for you if ever needed. Love you Lynn. Wanda & George

When someone you love becomes a memory, those memories become a treasure. Kathy was a treasure in life, too.

Oh Lynn, Eric and I are so very sorry (and in shock) . You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Kathy was the most kindest, loving and supportive woman. She has received her angel wings and will be missed dearly.

No other words can express the sadness I feel,
