So sorry for your loss, our condolences Joe and Jeanne Becker
I am so sorry for your loss. I have only met Kathy a couple of times but I have heard so many wonderful stories from Lexi Roepe and her family. I know you have so many memories and may you find comfort in them and the family you have. Your family is in our prayers for comfort and peace.
Paul, we are so sorry for your loss. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful memories over the years. Kathleen always welcomed us in your home and always made sure we had a spectacular time. I am so glad Madeline and Andrea were also a part of those special memories, especially all the fun times at the lake. Our prayers are with you and your entire family.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Kathy fondly from the high school friends gatherings. I know she, my mom, and the others from the high school gang are probably all hanging out in heaven. My thoughts are with you in this difficult time.
David and I treasure the friendship Kathleen showed us. You and she made us feel at home whenever we were able to come to your beautiful lake home. Her laugh was a part of every day. We wish you and your family comfort.
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Paul, Kathleen will forever be with us in our fond and happy memories and in our hearts for the love we shared.
Kathleen opened your home to all of her friends and yours. She was so gracious to all who entered.
I am especially thankful for her love and kindness she showed Bill during his illness. Kathleen always had great ideas to share. I was always grateful for guidance and help.
Paul I am so sorry for your loss. I could never thank Kathy enough for helping me figure out DMA and Aero back in the mid 1980s. She was such a kind and generous person. I will hold you in my prayers and heart.
I am saddened to hear of Kathy’s passing. I extend my sincerest sympathy to her family, especially to Karen and Jeffrey. May she rest in peace
Paul and the Keeve cousins, I am so sorry for your loss.
I remember Kathy helping my Mom and Dad when they were going through hard times later in life. I still appreciate it to this day.
When I was 7 years old I called Kathy into the bathroom, the only private place in our house! I asked her to please tell me the truth about the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus, which she did. 🙂
She will be missed.
