This still makes me sad today in 2022. I was going over records to save in my memory book and was missing Kates obituary.
She was a loving mother and grandmother. Loved all children and was a dedicated child care provider.
Kate was always respectful, honest and kind. I still miss her.

Kathy was 3 years old when I married into the family and we were very close ever since then.
Her beautiful twin girls spent more time at my house as babies more than at home. They were and are still just as pretty as ever. May the Lord be with you girls.
The next baby was a cutie and we all looked at the girls as part of our family (The Colbert's).
I love Kathy and it's hard to believe that she is gone. It makes me sad because I am being selfish and still want to keep here with us. However, we loved her, but God loved her more.
May her children be covered under the blood of Christ and may her immediate family be comforted in Our Lady's arms.
May Christ be with you all!
Always and forever,
