I miss you my friend! I remember that at this time of year you would have me start thinking about a new "Dew" for you. I miss this hair time with you, and our occasional Coffee or wine time too. You were a gift from God that I got to know, and I will see you again sometime.

My dear friend Kathy,
There are so many memories that I will cherish. You truly knew how to live life and share that zest for life with everyone involved. You would lend an ear whenever needed, listen, give advice and then pull you out of that place and make you move on. Many a cup of coffee, afternoon matinees and of course numerous glasses of wine were shared and of course the best traveling friend ever. From Reno to my 50th in Vegas to the best times anyone could ever have in New Orleans. These are the times that will never be topped and I am so happy to have had those times with you my friend. You have created a wonderful family and you live on in each and every one of them... Miss you

What I'll remember most about Kathy was how she made everyone around her feel important. She would chat with waiters and cashiers like they were old friends. She would remember your favorite drink and always have it on hand. Always giving, always caring, she made the world a better place.

My dear Kathy, my dear friend. I have always loved you. We met when we were 15 years old and have so many memories together, so many funny and heart felt memories. I have missed you so much. My heart is broken today. I will always cherish the friendship we shared. We always picked up the pieces, like no time had passed. That is a true friend, a friend of the heart. I love you Kathy.

My Cuz... my numba one... my dear Kathy. My earliest memories include Kathy, Uncle Nick and Aunt Bea. Port Angeles, Seattle, Hayward, Pleasanton. Kathy lite the room up, we all could hardly wait to see her again, her gentle fun loving way just worked its way into your heart and it will live there forever. I will miss Kathy but she lives in all of us...and we are all better people from knowing her. Numba one save a seat next to you for me, I hope when I go I am met by your big smile and I hear mustang Sally playing.... at that moment I will know I am at the right place. God bless you my dear... I miss you and love you.

While this is a time of grief and sorrow; it is also a time to celebrate Kathy’s life and the little ways she touched so many. Debbie and I only met Kathy once, at a Christmas party on December 11, 2008. Each passing year, we talk about that night---how special it was to both of us and how at ease Kathy made us feel---like we had known each other for years! The twinkle in her eyes, the radiant smile, and that engaging personality will live on in our hearts and memories.

So simply put...she will be more than just missed. We have been blessed to always have our cousins in our lives, and everyone of us have enjoyed Kathy's fun, larger than life personality! Kathy would naturally draw you in with her kindness and fill you up on laughter! Thank you Kathy for your 4 beautiful children who all remind us of you! We will be able to look at them and see you, listen to them and hear you...
How do you say good bye.... How about "until we meet again". Many loved ones guided you to heaven and many loved ones have been left behind. We will try to find comfort in each other and live life like you did... To its fullest! God Bless.

One of my favorite memories is the Year Kathy and Al dressed as Vikings. Kathy was dressed up in such a GREAT costume and she looked so Beautiful, fierce, and funny at the same time... That takes an AMAZiNG woman.
Life can be so unfair! You will be missed every single day by so many people.
I have a special place in my heart for you, every time I see a rubber duck. And we know those things are every where. But None are as Great as the one Melissa dressed up for you. My Sea Ray Sister. I Love you, and Miss you. Shelia Kelly

I had the incredible oppoprtunity of sharing in the joy of the wedding of Brian and Melissa with Kathy as one of the mom's. She was MOB (mother of bride) and I was MOG (mother of groom) as Melissa affectionately called us. It was an amazing wedding and the times we got to spend together as we worked toward the big day were fun and memorable. She didn't even mind that we both chose purple dresses!
One of the most touching moments of that special day was when Kathy took the time, despite being one of the busiest participants and in the midst of the rush to get everyone off to the church, to leave me a very special voice mail message. She said "Sharon, our job is done! We did an amazing job and we are done! Let's relax and enjoy this moment and take some time during the reception to share a special glass of wine".
I will always remember that special message and the classy lady who left it for me. I felt very blessed that she would think of us both during this key milestone in our children's lives and reach out to me to make it even more special.
I wanted to share this little story because I think its a great example of Kathy's sparkling personality and her unique thoughtfulness. Thanks for reading!
