You will always be remembered.  Seems strange to address the person who is now with Jesus but we do it anyway. Continue to rest in quiet peace with Gary. Until the day when we shall all meet again......

Hardly seems possible that she's been gone two years.  I remember her as loving her family especially the grandchildren. She was always hospitable to visitors. We celebrate her life with us on earth and rejoice knowing she is with Gary sharing her eternal life. 
Peace to everyone who knew and loved her.
Aunt Jane 

I will always love Kathy.  I was raised with her up Johnny Cake Hollow in WV.  Her mom delivered me and named me after her.  What an honor.  I would walk down the hollow to go to Kathy's mom's church.  I loved Kathy and her family.  I will miss talking to Kathy on FaceBook.   We hadn't seen each other since I was 18.  But we reconnected on FaceBook.  Kathy will forever be my special childhood friend.  One day, we will meet again.  Home with Jesus.

Kathy.what can I say. She was an awesome friend..we bowled together many years..we were bedmates when we went to bowling tournaments...we had a lot of laughs.. Condolences to Shelly and Gary and the family for your loss.

Thank you Kathy for being my friend.  When we arrived at Gunter in 1984 you were my teammate on a Wednesday morning bowling league at Maxwell. Thank you for answering all of my kids phone calls from their friends through the years.  You always made me laugh about that.

I miss living on Gunter, Sam and I will miss you and Gary.

Aunt Kathy you were the best. The last 10 years I’ve leaned on you so much. I enjoy our 2 to 3 hour talks we had. I’m going to miss you so much. Love you forever Pam 

The last time I talked to you was on my birthday. You always remembered. I knew you didn't feel well at all that day but you still called. TY for that. Now you have your promised eternal life. Rest in peace. Sincerely Jane 

Our condolences to Gary, Shelley, and all the family.  I (Debbie) first met Kathy at Tyler and Katherine's wedding rehearsal dinner. I enjoyed talking with her and Gary that night and grew to love her over the years thru Facebook. She is the reason I'm on Facebook as it was from her encouragement that I joined shortly after the wedding. My deepest sympathy to all the family. I will really miss her!

Dear Kathy,                                                                                           You will be greatly missed. We have all benefited from having you and Gary in our lives and you will always be in our thoughts.  You and Gary can now rest.                                                                       Love,                                                                                                    Tim

Kathy,
So many conversations over the years I was your pastor. Sharing your faith, your love for Gary Sr. and your family. I could always count on hearing the latest update on your grandchildren. You also were a source of encouragement when I was in need. I am grateful for all those times and rejoice in your reunion with Gary and seeing Jesus face to face. Looking forward to seeing you again! Love Pastor Doug

My brother now has his beloved Kathy with him again.  I'm not sure where souls are right now.  I do know that they are asleep in Jesus and then when Jesus returns on that final day we will all be united together again.  So.....in the meantime maybe Kathy could be making her world famous onion rings for Gary!!!!  You will be missed, Kathy.  Thank you so much for remembering our birthdays and anniversaries.   And thanks for being the only one in the car that fateful day when Gary swore we ended up in Beloit!!!!  We love you.

Dear Kathy,
Your travel through this world is done. May you rest with Gary for all time. 
I will miss all the great times we had. You were my big sister that I never had.
I will never forget you and Gary. May  you rest in quiet peace, you have earned it.
Love always,
Darell

I didn’t know Kathy, but I know her son Gary and have appreciated his friendship for over 20 years.  Kathy must’ve been a good wife and mother as well as grandmother to Gary‘s children. I’m sure Kathy’s influence will continue to live  through Gary’s life and Gary‘s children. May God grant her soul peace and rest.  May God comfort her family even as they mourn their loss.  “Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to him be glory forever and ever. Amen”. Hebrews 13:20-21
