Kat, knowing you all these years has been a pleasure! Always lots of laughs and giggles! I always thought of you as my sister in law too! May you be sitting with Jesus and rest in peace!
Love always,
Patty
To my Sister,
I will always remember all the good times we have had. You were always such a joy to be around. Your light shined, even in dark places. You were one of the most giving people I have known. We laughed so much as a family. My fondest memory of you is when we were in Florida on the banana boat and Gerald knocked us off.
You ended up riding on the boat that was pulling us. You could not swim but you took that plunge with us as a family. You took every plunge with us as a family. I love you and always will and I miss you desperately already but it is not good bye. It is, I will see you soon in Heaven
I love you my sister,
Connie
Kathy was always such a sweet person. I haven’t seen her in years but she will be missed. Prayers for all those close to her and may she rest in peace.
