My prayers are with your family during this sad time. I am so thankful that we know we will all be reunited with Kathy where she will be perfectly healed and full of life. She most certainly was welcomed by our Savior with those cherished words " well done My beloved friend." I served with Kathy as a children's leader at BSF for several years and saw first hand her love for Jesus and His lambs. She and I were walking buddies for a while which gave me the opportunity to hear her talk of things that were important to her. Too of the list was Jesus, then her dear family He gave her. She loved you all beyond words and prayed for a blessed future for each of you . It was her greatest desire for her children to grow to love and serve the Lord and to live the abundant life He came to offer . God bless you all with comfort and peace until your circle is once again unbroken.
My prayers are with all of you during this time. May God give you peace as He has given peace to your Loved One.
