  • I’ve been extremely blessed to have known Miss Kathy! I loved her sense of humor, her love for her husband, children, and her grandchildren. Her love for the Lird was infectious! I have always admired her caring nature, and the love she had for people. She’s the only person who could outdo my husband at decorating for Christmas. I’m going to miss her very much, I’m thankful she knew the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior and that she is eternally at peace and rejoicing and singing! (Which was another thing I I loved about her her singing)
