My condolences on the loss of your mother. This is a difficult time for you. Death is an enemy to us all. We can gain comfort and hope from GOD's word. GOD promises a resurrection of the dead.(Acts 24:15) We will see our loved ones live again on a paradise earth, where death and pain will be no more.(Rev.21:3-5;Psalms 37:11,29) For more comfort from the scriptures go to jw.org.

To all Kathy's family and co-workers please except my condolences at her passing. She was always very pleasant and friendly to me whenever I saw her at Dog Days and Cat Naps or when she would stop by the Casey's store I worked at part-time. She was truly a very friendly and outgoing woman.
