Thinking about Kathy, my beautiful cousin, brings back so many happy mem ories.  As a little girl, our family would often go visit and have wonderful family times together.  Kathy had the most amazing smile and I know she is still smiling down on all the people she loves still on Earth.  My heart goes out to all the many people who knew her and loved her.  She will be greatly missed, but always remembered.  Miss you Kathy...

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

This is a photo of Kathy. She was about three years old.  She decided to run away from home. She thought it would be a great 'venture. Kathy put on a cowboy hat, her dolly's sweater,packed some things...... and some of mine. She informed me I had to go too, 'cause I had to tie her shoes. I hope she is headed for her great 'venture' now. Let me know if you need your shoes tied, Baby.

To Paraphrase something I heard once in a movie: "I was there when that perfect little creature was brought into this world...." From then on she was my baby, my best friend and the best sister ever. I can not imagine a world without her. I will miss you,"Tass".  I Love you so much. Your Karadin.

Greg - Words will never express how sorry (and shocked) I was to hear about Kathy's passing.    Please take care of yourself and know that we all care.

Greg, Pari Chris, Mali Christina and family, our condolence to you all. We're socked and saddened to hear the news of Kathleen's passing. Thoughts and Prayers, The Perry Family

Sharon and I loved Kathy and her husband, Greg.  She worked with me for many years and we have wonderful memories of her helping to organize, plan, and attend so many business and social functions in Pax River, Maryland, before she moved back to Jacksonville.  She was a loyal and dedicated employee of LSI for many years.  

Jim & Sharon McKinney

To My loving beautiful Wife
I am going to miss you so very much, words cannot express the feeling that I have for you. I will cherish you and our wonderful memories we had together for the rest of my days on this earth. until I can be with you again my love.

Greg and Family,
I was shocked and saddened to hear about Kathy.  I will always have wonderful memories of her beautiful, smiling face, kind heart, and how much she loved her her family and friends.  I'm so glad she was a part of my life at LSI.  May you find peace and strength in your memories of Kathy.

Mom (my mother-in-law) was a very loving woman. She meant so much to so many people, and she will be missed dearly. We love you, Mom, and are blessed to have had you in our lives!

Greg and family--we were both so saddened to hear of your loss.  I had a great working relationship and friendship with Kathy for those years at LSI in Maryland.  She had so much knowledge that she shared with me, a superb work ethic, and a heart as big as all outdoors.  She was always so proud of your accomplishments, Greg, and a supportive Navy wife.  She often spoke of Chris' wonderful singing voice and was a proud grandmother.  May you feel God's comfort and peace during this difficult time.

I met Kathleen in 1987; she was instantly a close friend… 
We spent the following years raising our children while our husbands were out at sea…  she was the best friends, she was a loving sister, she was an excellent Mother…
A selfless person when asked to guide us as Ombudsman for the Wing…
She was a rock for the hundreds of women that were dealing with all of the Drama of their husbands being out to sea brought… 
But, yet never showed ... That she was suffering the same loneliness that we all felt… 
She led with the heart of a Lioness…
 I can remember countless “Wives Club” meetings where she was battered with questions that she and the Squadrons could not ever answer…. 
Yet she smiled… and offered solutions and comfort …
She would handle situations with grace and poise… and Always…. Always was a Lady…
I will always remember a call from Kathleen late one evening, she had hired a local handyman to remodel her sitting room, and he had ripped all of the paneling from the room and left it in a huge pile in the front yard, leaving the carpeting riddled with splinters and debris….. And when asked when he would return he replied that he had “joined a bowling league and would not be able to finish the job”… for a while… She was inconsolable… her house, her home was in shambles and she needed someone to help…. I packed up my children and drove to her house….( neither one of us had any experience in sheet rocking…. But we learned) …I realized that night… and the following days that she was as susceptible as all of us were… to the havoc that all of our military family's faced… 
We survived because we formed new families… new sisters, new brothers, new Mothers, new Fathers, not replacements of our blood families but instead extensions of them, and she was family ….
She accepted all of us, into her family…
I would say she was quite possibly the most beautiful woman I knew….
Her heart was genuine and she loved unconditionally, I will miss you Kathleen….. 
But I will never forget the “era” that we forged as Mothers, Sisters, and Wives …..
Oh….. And of course Sheet Rockers!!!
I have cried that my Sister/Friend has passed… 
BUT…..
 I have laughter in my heart because I was lucky enough to have you in my life… Soar with the Angels my friend as you have earned your “Wings”!

Kathleen was Karen and I's little pest when we were kids. We loved her and most of the time we didn't really mind her tagging along with us. When she got a little older she used to come and stay with me on weekends sometimes. I sure enjojed her and loved how she seemed to look up to me as her older cousin. Rest in peace dear cousin!   LOVE, SUSIE ROSE (THOMPSON)

I was so glad to see the slide show with pictures of Kathleen as I remember her with her huge smile.  We went to school together in Lakeview.  I'm so sorry for your loss; it looks like she had a great life with happy times.

Until we meet again, Dear Friend!  You had a heart of pure gold. May all the angels meet you in paradise. Peace  ?
Jacquie (Nielsen) Fase
LHS  Class of 1979

You are one of the most wonderful women I've had the pleasure of having in my life. Your support and strength have me the strength to survive. I love you with all of my heart and will miss you more then words.

I can't grasp the idea of Kathy being gone.  I worked in the office next to her when she was at LSI and we would often talk about cloths and shopping.  We were both big fans of Maurice's and New York & Company.  In my heart I know she now wears a beautiful gown and a gorgeous pair of wings.   Greg, I pray God gives you and your family the strength you'll need to get through your sadness and loss.  God Bless!
Weazie Thornton

To Greg and all of Kathy's family; I am sorry that you are going through this.  My heart is with you; I have great memories of Kathy working together and sharing life stories at LSI.  I pray you will find comfort in Jesus.

Dear Greg and Family, You are in my prayers.  May God bless you with a peace of mind, heart and soul, knowing that Kathy is no longer suffering.  She is looking down at us all with a beautiful smile on her face.  She was a very beautiful person both inside and out.  I am glad to say that I was her friend.  She was so proud of her son and grandchild, bragging about them when she had the chance; and telling what wonderful things you were doing while in the military.  She will be truely missed.  Our Deepest Sympathy to you and your family, Alfredia and Curt Cairatti (Middleburg, FL)

Chris, Christina and Family, I am so sorry for your loss.  May God be with you all at this trying time and know that if you need anything please let me know.  There is never any words that can express the loss of a parent or a sibling but know that she will be in your heart forever and at your side smiling and watching out for you as your own personal Angel.  God Bless.
