Our words of sympathy seem so shallow at a time like this, Gene, but I don't know what more to say. Kathy was a special friend to us, as you are, and we are so saddened to learn of her passing. Your strong faith and the love of family and friends will help to see you through this difficult time.

Our Queen Esther with her adorned crown was Heaven's special gift to us all. We will always remember her unconditional love and her ties that bind us strong. The white lily and white ray reflect her unselfish loyalty to Light, Purity and Joy. May all of God's love thru family and friends be with you all, evermore.
