Dear Mark, Cassie, and Ronnie. I'm praying for all of you during this difficult time. I have so many memories of your mom baby sitting when I was a child. Rest in Heaven Aunt Kathy.

My heart goes out to all of Aunt Kathy's family and friends. She was such a sweet loving soul to everyone. Though she was miles from us, she was and is always in our hearts. Rest peacefully Aunt Kathy,

Kathy was well liked, and will be missed. I had to chuckle because there was only one person more stubborn than her husband Roger, and she had to be. To the family, your mom and dad were very special people and I hope that you know that. Much respect.
