Dear Dean and Family,
My heart is broken for you and your family. Words are so few during these times of loss. You are all in our prayers. One of the things I have always remembered about Kathy was her beautiful smile! She was always smiling and such a sweet lady. She will be greatly missed. May God wrap His loving and gracious arms around all of you today and in the days to come.
Love and Prayers,
Sheila & Mike Marasco

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.
