Happy Birthday in heaven❤️♥️❤️

Offering our sincere condolences to the family. Be sure to keep all of those dear and wonderful memories close. 

Sorry to hear Kathy has passed on. Many of us girls at Tustin High  enjoyed  hanging out with her. I had always hoped she would show up at one of the reunions. I remember her Father was a Doctor and she had many sisters.

Condolences to her family and from classmates THS 1967

A very fun night at the Turtle Bay lights in Redding December 2021❤️

Contemplating something. Miss Kathleen, as our mother called her, was a very deep thinker, at times.

More Colorado. Downhill skiing Loveland. Such a lovely day in the mtns.

A beautiful day by the ocean- Laurie and Kathy

There are friends.
There is family.
And there are friends who become family.

Unfortunately, we were missing  the rest of our sisters: Carol, Becky and Jackie.

Kathy and I with our best friend, Charlie. 

Kathy was fortunate to have a wonderful group of college friends for over 50 years. They were all loyal and loving and were always present to share her life experiences, happy and sad.  Our family is grateful to you all for your unwavering love and support.

Found this cute baby in Kathy’s drawer- our Mom has written on the back ,”Kathy-3 months”

I miss you, Kathy! It is challenging to wrap my heart around your departure from our lives. You will forever be alive & present in my heart and reflections. You were a special positive energy force, always lighting up the moment, with your smile,  enthusiasm, & willingness to help others.  I always appreciated your independence, strong, confident nature, & your radiating zest for life. A friend of over 50 years. What a gift! My strongest memory is traveling together, just you & me, by train across northern India,  up to the Nepal border, & then by bus to Kathmandu in 1968/1969. You manifested such adventure, fun, & learning about people and cultures. I am thankful for all the love, care, concern, & support her sisters provided Kathy to ease her transition.  May Kathy rest in peace. My condolences to a wonderful family.

Colorado.  I am in the background soaking up some stories, no doubt. We are sun and wind burnt from skiing. She took us on an overnight cross country ski trip above tree line at a place called Loveland Pass. We stayed in a forest service cabin. ❤️

Colorado days. No heat, no phone , no running water, no problem♥️. What an adventure it always was to visit Kathy.

Kathy was my Shanachie. Always some new tidbit she would drop into a chat, not thinking it would would be interesting to us. Like the time she mentioned her pet wolf in passing. Wait, what? Go back to the wolf;)

Kathy with all of her sisters which always involved lots of laughter❤️

Dearest cousins, 
I know how hard Kathy battled. I know how incredible her support from all of you. I can't imagine the hole that is left in her passing. I am sending my love to help in your healing. You are all in my thoughts.
Love Linda

Dear Karen and Laurie,

I hold vivid, positive memories of Kathy:
Her infectious smile
Walking in her cowgirl boots at age 18 through the dormitory at Callison College 

introducing me to my future boyfriend in Kathmandu, Nepal in 1969

Loaning me money to get home from a college reunion at Martha’s place in Nevada City, California

Kathy will live in my heart forever❣️
Thank you for taking such good care of her in her last years.
