Kathy was a great work friend, she was talented, smart, kind, and always helpful.
So sorry to hear of her loss.
She went through a lot in the 24 years I knew her and persevered, and glad she can be in heaven out of the pain of this world. I was honored to get to visit her in her apartment and was glad she was doing so well when I saw her last.

I only got to know Kathy briefly. She was a kind and sharp lady with a witty ornery streak. We got on famously. I never had a sister, but imagine if I had, she'd be a lot like her. May you all find peace knowing she's okay now. Prayers for your heartbreak. Love forever. Blessed be. Michelle Reese(Regency)

To Kathy's friends and family. I am truly sorry for your loss of such a sweet and compassionate soul. She has left this earth far to soon. Knowing how she struggled with her health, it is somewhat comforting to know she is at peace and with her parents.
Kathy will live in my heart and memory forever. I will love you forever.
