Dear Dawn and Family,
Your Mom was a very special woman. Despite her own struggles, her concern for others and their well-being was always there. I will miss our regular phone calls. However, I believe she is now at peace and watching over us all, wishing us the best.
God bless you and your family at this sad time. Your Mom will always be with you.
Love,
Cousin Nancy
What a wonderful life well lived! Kathy loved gathering with family and friends. She had the most welcoming smile that lit up the room. Talking with Kathy was always easy for she was a great conversationalist! Our family gatherings were always filled with joy, love and lots of laughter with Kathy in the midst of everything. She will be greatly missed.
I’ll, always remember the good times with Kathy, at the family events. She loved the boys, and likewise her eyes would light up seeing Dawn and Mike’s two nieces.
A very generous individual.
Kathy was nice to talk to on the phone. She remembered family events from the past. She came to buy baby clothes for Dawn when I worked at a department store when she was pregnant. She would talk to my mom, Joe’s aunt, her husband, on the phone a lot. She had a spunky, joyful spirit, especially when talking about her daughter, son in law and grandsons. She will be missed. 😍💗🙏
