    So sorry to hear this news. Kathy worked diligently in many groups for the benefit of others. She will be missed.

  2. I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard to ease the pain and hurt when our loved ones fall asleep in death. I hope you can find comfort in knowing that God promises to bring back to life those who we have lost in death. John 5:28,29 says “the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out”. I hope this wonderful thought can bring you peace and comfort in the days and weeks to come. Annie

  3. So sorry for your loss but you can rejoice in knowing that she is heaven with no more suffering. Prayers for you and your family for comfort.

    Rich and I are so sorry to hear of Kathy’s passing. He thought a great deal of her and her work in the Defense Logistics Department. We are sorry to hear of her illness and know her suffering is over. On behalf of Rich I want to express our sympathy to Kathy’s family.
