Kathy was a loving and devoted mother, and she was the most kind and generous person anyone could have ever known. She was loved dearly by everyone and her passing has left a huge void in the lives of the many people she touched. Although she will be missed so much by her family and friends, she will hold a special place in our hearts forever. Those who knew Kathy have been richly blessed by her presence here, but Heaven has received a beautiful angel who has gone home to be with Jesus Christ, her Savior, and she is now whole again.
