I worked for Mrs. Kathy for several years. Not only was she like a second mom to me but a wonderful mentor. When I wanted to give up, she would push me harder. She taught me to never give up. She has the biggest kindest heart I have ever met. Her smile would light up any room. My prayers for the whole family. Love you guys, be strong!

For those who loved and cherished Kathy, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine how difficult this time is for you. Our kind and loving creator Jehovah God (Psalms 83:18) offers comfort in the Bible. John 5:28, 29 - There will be a resurrection Revelation 21:4 - God is going to do away with death, sorrow, mourning, and pain.

With love and respect on your family loss may you find peace in his arms Love Bone and Deborah
