I worked with Kathy at Eaton/Dynamatic for several years. We used to walk along the lake each morning before work. She was a stead-fast and loyal friend. I am sorry for your loss as she truly was a lovely person!

I have such fond memories of Kathy. We spent a lot of time together during our teenage years. We also did some crazy things together. I remember once, shortly after I got my drivers license, we picked up her moms dry cleaning. We hung it on the hooks in my car and we thought it would be neat if we pretended we were going on a vacation. So… we got on the interstate and we were having a blast until we got to the first toll booth and we had no money! Luckily, the man in the toll booth was very nice and let us go, telling us how to get back. I also remember our dream of being in a girls rock band. We tried to play guitars and sing in Kathy’s basement but we weren’t very good. Even though we lost touch over the years I will miss her so much. I’m sorry I can’t be at the service today. I remember Matt and Marty and would have liked to see you again and would have liked to meet Larry. My sincere condolences to all of you.

To Kathy’s family and friends, please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss. I have found comfort in reading Job 14:14,15 where it shows that Jehovah God yearns to bring back to life the dead who are preserved in his memory. The Bible gives us a wonderful hope of living in a paradise on earth and seeing the resurrection of our dead loved ones. (Luke 23:43; John 5:28,29) May this bring you some comfort and strength as well, remembering that soon God will wipe away our tears and swallow up death forever.
