Guestbook
Ron, and all your family, extended family…We are so very sorry for your loss. Kathy was always a positive person, even on days she was feeling not herself, like having a cold during a Girl Scout event we worked. If you need anything, pop us a call or email or text. I know you both have close loving families. Lean on them in this time of grieving and know that Kathy is watching over you. My Mom and Dad send their condolences. They loved when you would stop by our garage sale and visit with us and them. They send prayer of strength and peace. Mom tried to type this to you in this guestbook, but had poor luck. So, hugs and love being sent from many of us to all of you, Denny and Carrie
Kathy bought sunshine into her workplace and always had time to listen and offer kind words of encouragement to those around her. It was always a joy to see her sunny disposition as illuminating her environment. May God grant her eternal rest.
I will miss you Kathy. You were my daughter Sara’s girl scout leader for a few years and a friend also. sorry for your loss Ron and family.
We share your pain, we offer our hearts, our prayers, our love and our memories during your hard times, and offer only the thought that she lives on in your memories and your hearts!
