Mom was such a positive inspiration to me and always helped me look for the positive side of life. She was always willing to put her self aside to help others and share her love of Christ. 

The only scars in heaven, they won't belong to you
There'll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new
And the thought that makes me smile now, even as the tears fall down
Is that the only scars in heaven are on the hands that hold you now. 


Kathy and I were kindred spirits.  We felt comfortable with each other when we met and I love her dearly.  Her faith touched everyone she met and she shared her love of Jesus with all of us.  She was so thoughtful and always put others ahead of herself.  It's hard for me to express my feelings and grief in losing  her in this life but will see her again in heaven.  Love all of you Kotulas and all the memories we shared over all these years.  What a blessing to have had Kathy and all of you in my life.  Thank you Lord.

I’m sorry that my cousin is gone from this earth. I know she loved her family & we  all lost someone who made everyone feel loved. But we rejoice with happiness that she is with her Lord & Savior Jesus, being loved by all in heaven.  No tears, no pain , no sadness.  Just the purest joy & love of heaven forever. 

Dear Kotula,  Zubok and Bolling Families,

Bruce and I just found out about the death of Kathy and are extremely sad and mourning her loss. We are asking that Jesus gives you the strength you need,  and that you feel His love for you during this time.

There are not enough words to describe this wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, endearing, kind, compassionate, and gracious woman. She was the perfect example of the type of person Jesus wants us to be. She will be in our hearts forever.

Please let us know if there is anything you might need.

With all our love,
Janette and Bruce (McKeachie)

This earth lost an Angel, and my Aunt Kathy  gained her Heavenly wings.  Her time here was cut way too short. She was and will always be an inspiration to everyone she came into contact with. Life gave her many tough trials,  as well as her loved ones. You all are an inspiration to me. Fighters and Faith Warriors. Always so strong and so positive no matter the situation. The world needs more of that.  I am blessed with the memories we shared that are kept safe in my heart, until we meet again. Beach trips, Florida Keys, and Englewood, Florida Fun, shell and shark teeth hunting, most importantly  our conversations about the love of our Lord. Helping my Faith get even stronger. An especially fun Memory was when Uncle Phil and Aunt Kathy took us out to the Island in the Keys in the boat, and the waters got a little rough coming back in. It was a little nerve racking. Lol We got wet and had a blast!
To the entire Kotula family our thoughts, prayers, and love are with you all. 
 Aunt Kathy you were love by so many and will be missed greatly. Give Grandma, Grandpa, and Dad a big hug for me. Fly High! ❤ Love you always!!
