Tributes
Leave a tributeI can’t believe another year has passed… a lot has changed since you were here… you’re a Grandmother now! My boys are both in college, we are surviving COVID, but the world is going crazy. We seem to be losing our manners, respect for each other and some human decency. Please look after us all! And if you can send down some help, that would be great! Merry Christmas, Auntie Kathy! Miss your smile!
Light and love forever, Kara
We miss you especially your positivity. This Christmas 2022 you are blessed to be released from this earthly bond. We look forward to sharing your greatest joy in our Shepherd's presence. God bless David and your children as we remember you today.
Continue in God's Favor on this side of Heaven,
Josie and David
Nathan, Cameron and I share in your sorrow and miss Auntie Kathy dearly. She was always there - for all our family occasions - always with a big smile, a warm hug and an infectious laugh. It was always fun to make her giggle about something ridiculous. That, I will remember the most about her.
The second thing I will remember about her is how she always sent a card, note and/or gift to us on our birthdays. She was amazing!! - to remember every year without fail! I don't know how she did it! I wish I did one-tenth of what she did.
In reflecting over the last month, it's been really nice to be reminded of who Auntie Kathy was and the life that you shared with her. I think you all had a very special, loving relationship that, although shortened, should always be cherished.
It is on that note that I'm reminded that you and she asked me to play the violin at your wedding. Let me say now, almost 30 years later, how honored I am that you asked me and that I was able to do it. It was truly a special moment that I will cherish. Thank you!
I didn't realize at our last Thanksgiving at my house, how important my words of thanks to God for our family and what we've all experienced together over the years would mean... It was our last Thanksgiving with Auntie Kathy and I'm glad she could be there with us.
Let me again express gratitude for all the times we've shared and memories we've created as a family. Thank you for including us in your lives. As I said before, we are your family and we are here for you. Please lean on us.
May you all be Blessed and May God take care of you all as you continue your journey together. BE GOOD because Auntie Kathy is watching!
Love and Hugs, Lori
It's not often that a woman touches so many lives in so many ways. Kathy's memory will live on in my heart. Christian, Kandice and Zachary the courage to speak so candidly about your mother was such a beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing your stories. We all have one more angel in heaven and it was an honor to call Kathy my friend.
She's probably saying hello to Walt, Bill Lew and Bob for starters!

May Kathy enjoy all God's blessings in heaven. May the Lord comfort my brother, David, and his children with His love, strength, grace and peace. Kathy will be greatly missed when she's not there to save me a seat and take me to her Bible study class whenever I visit her church from southern Cal. All God's children will see Kathy in heaven in God's time.
Thank God for Kathy's 56 years of life on earth, especially for her time with us. All God's children who have received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will see Kathy again in heaven in God's time
Prayer, love and God bless in Christ,

Kathy was a beautiful person. She helped me with her encouraging words when I was overwhelmed with raising 2 children when they were very young. She would always say, "you will get through this. Pray for your children always... God has great plans for them." Or she'll tell me stories of how proud she was at her children's faith despite going through public school (SLHS). She brought me hope with her words.
One of my biggest regret is not being able to see her in the last few years. I allowed my life to get too busy and did not have that time to sit with her and have a cup of coffee/tea at Zocalo.
I will miss you friend. Until we see each other again with Jesus, I will keep sweet memories of you and your big wide smile.

You all are in my thoughts and prayers as you miss your wife and momma. I was blessed be one of Kandice's teachers at Roosevelt and therefore was able to get to know Kathy. After every encounter with Kathy I always felt refreshed and encouraged. She indeed had the gift of encouragement! Kathy loved her husband and family, and so enjoyed her work as a preschool teacher. She saw the value of investing her life in people, because people are eternal. I am encouraged to walk more closely with Jesus because of Kathy's example. I pray for comfort for you all as you grieve and love together.

Kathy was a beautiful woman inside and out. She had a smile that was contagious. She lives in your beautiful children.

Remembering Kathy
My husband, Aldo, & I met Kathy at a friend's annual Memorial Day Weekend BBQ in Dublin, CA. That is where we also met her husband David. We remember the smiles from Kathy. Aldo & I hosted Karaoke for several years at this annual event and Kathy and her husband were always a pleasure to see. Kathy's husband, David, was always eager to sing to his family. We missed seeing Kathy this year but she will forever remain in our hearts and will live through her family and friends.
Remembering Kathy
Kathy graduated before me so I don't remember her from high school, but we met at the SLHS picnics a few years ago. She was so friendly, greeting everyone and having such a great time visiting. Kathy also began attending the high school brunches at Elio's, one in particular comes to mind because she kept changing seats so she could talk with everyone! We invited David and Kathy over for dinner and had such a wonderful conversation that went on for hours. We attended Susan Reneberg's wedding together and again had so much fun together. Her bright smile and laughter will be missed. She always brightened up the room with her personality. I am certain that Heaven is enjoying it's newest angel and that we are truly blessed to have had the opportunity to get to know her. To the Gin and Hom families, you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Remembering Kathy
Kathy graduated before me so, I don't remember her from school. The first time I met her and David was two years ago at the SLHS Picnic at Chabot Park. She was so friendly and full of smiles, having such a great time greeting everyone! She began coming to the brunches we held at Elio's and enjoyed catching up with everyone who attended. She and David came to our house for dinner and we sat and talked for hours, covering so many subjects! She was such a joy to be around. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Gin and Hom families at this time. She truly will be missed but Heaven has one of the brightest angels in it's midst and we have been truly blessed to have had the opportunity to met and gotten to know and call Kathy a friend!
Our love goes out to the family and please know that Kathy will never be forgotten!
