I am so very sorry to learn of Kathy’s passing. She and Karen were my best friends. I remember both of them working with me to learn the alto part for Christmas songs, and then we would sing together with the choir! Both are now singing with an angelic choir, for all of us! Again, just so sorry, it’s almost unbelievable,
I was up all night & throughout the morning ('til 8 or 9 a.m.) before getting some sleep. She was a big reason for that, being on my mind & in my heart. I honestly felt - & feel - so spiritually connected to her. She is tied to so many childhood & adult memories, I cannot begin to recount them all. She was a shining star of kindness, generosity, & optimism. And there was nothing like that marvelous, rippling laughter of hers. Alluding to her being the "heart" of our class is a good description. All I know is that there seems to be a big hole in mine right now.
She had the sweetest voice. When she spoke she radiated love, just like how she lived her life....full of love. Shaaaaaa.....she is going to be missed terribly. I'm saying lots of prayers for your family.
“Sweet”- that’s the first word that comes to mind to describe my darling cousin. As kids, Karen and I would come up with some zany scheme, and Kathy, the voice of reason, would remind us of consequences...I know the heavenly reunion, along with Uncle Gene was spectacular.
Jaime, my heart is broken reading this news. Kathy was my precious childhood friend and sister. My selfishness wants her here with us on this earth but I know that God has given her the gift of true life joined with Him, Karen and her dad. My heart will always rejoice with blessings that she was such a beautiful and loving part of my life that I will never forget her. My tears right now are from sadness but I know they will change to wonderful memories of her beautiful smile, laughter and joy of life. Love you Kathy and will miss you terribly.
Jamie, our hearts are so broken; we will pray for Kathy and all of you during this sorrowful time. Kathy was so loved by all of us and will never be forgotten; such a dear friend. Our deepest condolences to you and your family.
