Dear Uncle Mike, Beth, Leslie, and family- I’m so sorry for your loss. Aunt Kathy was such a dear, amazing, wonderful woman. She was one of the nicest people I’ve ever known. My deepest sympathy goes out to you all. Love from Laura Hibbs, Kentucky
I love you Aunt Kathy and Uncle Mike. I can’t believe you are gone, but I know Jesus has welcomed you with open arms.
Kathy was, as my late wife said, An Earthly Angel–so often the encourager, comforter, spiritual conduit of so much goodness. Attuned to those in need, she took her time to listen more than speak, took action when she could, and always offered the spiritual succor and kindness to support the person turning to her.
Her humor and good nature were always in good supply as well as her ready joy when visiting the Botanical Gardens. Her laughter still echoes for those fortunate to have known her.
Fare thee well, Dear Kathy
So sorry to hear this. Our sympathies to Beth, Leslie and Mike.
Michele & Jerry DiMarcellis
My deepest condolences to Mike and the entire family. I pray for your healing and peace. Much love always.
My condolences to Mike and family. I met the two of them at OLOL visiting my aunts. Such a loving couple. I will miss seeing and talking with Kathy.
Kathy was a dear sweet friend. Condolences to her entire family and her loving friends. She was remarkable. She was so graceful in her journey home. I miss talking with her and her warm soul. I believe Jane is near her now and I will love and miss them both all my days.
