Dexter and I were so sorry to hear about Kathy. Norman, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time and the days ahead. Our daughter, Carol Goodman Newcomb, started working for her in 1987 at H & R Block. It was during that time she started doing our taxes. She was a very special person and so sweet; we thought a lot of her. We had a lot of laughs during those times and up until she left the firm. Kathy will be missed by so many people. She touched a lot of lives. May you be Comforted by knowing that others Care and Cling to those Precious Memories. May You find Peace in Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Saviour.

From Debbie Dunham Mooney
Deepest sympathy Norm to you and your family. Kathy was a light that shone to all who knew her. Rest in Peace dear Kathy.
We will so miss her smile and laughter. She was one of the sweetest ladies that ever lived!
She rarely said anything bad about another person, but if she did, it was a universally accepted fact!
Our hearts are saddened by the news of Kathy's death. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, which gives me hope to once again see her. She was a wonderful warm person who never met a stranger or forgot a friend. Our condolences to Norm and the family with the prayers that you feel the loving arms of our Christ around you as you endure the loss of Kathy. May great memories surround you and bubble over!
Kathy was just a beautiful person inside and out. Thank you Kathy for the grace you showed us all. Love to all the Lueck family. Shirley Summers
