When you are blessed enough to come across such a gentle soul, the impact is lifelong. Kathy, dear one, I am praying for your family and aching for all of us. I’ve often thought back on our many conversations & as I read this news, my heart breaks for you & rejoices for you! God love you, sweet Kathy
Laura, Terry & Family
You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of such a kind & loving lady. After leaving her position I would see her at the grocery store & she was always that same bubbly Kathy even with all the ankle problem she still came across as upbeat. It was so evident she loved Terry, her family & those fur kids!
Laura you always came into the conversation because after the meetings ended at Caribou I always asked how you were doing, I know she never thought much of the WLS but she was never critical. It’s been some time, but If she was suffering when I saw her last she didn’t complain or even mention it.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Kathy was a very special friend, coworker. She could always make a person laugh. You’ll be truly missed. God received a very special angel & you’ll be always cherished by us here on earth.
My heart is aching for you all, I had the honor of getting to play games with Kathy on line with Sandy ,,,she was always a fun person ,,, I am sure that God needed her as a important angel in heaven ,,, Jesus comfort this family in their time of sorrow ,,, love you Sandy

They say “dying is easy – it’s the living that’s the hard part”. Kathy’s courageous battle with cancer was a very difficult, painful one. I know my parents (Kathy’s Aunt and Uncle) have taken her hand where they are all pain free and happy in Heaven…. I miss all of you. Judy
