I am also an EMC friend of Kathy's and marveled at the way she handled her life and her death. Her attitude was always so upbeat. We have all lost a ray of sunshine in our lives.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother, wife, grandma, friend, aunt. Our loved ones leave us sooner than we are ready. Knowing that she is in the comfort of Gods hands and other loved ones up in heaven, hopefully will be somewhat of a comfort for you all. Just know that she is with you ALWAYS whenever you want to share a memory, a sad moment, a happy moment or just plain talk and that memories of Kathy are things NOBODY can ever take from any one of you, so hold them dear to your heart. Our heart goes out to you all.

So sorry to hear Kathy is gone. I knew her from EMC - I'd see her in the kitchen making her morning tea or in the break room reading a book. She had an awesome attitude towards her illness, and she did it her way. She touched my heart.
