Hi kathy,
Another year has passed, and many miss you.
My beloved shepherd that I purchased from you , only 9 years ago, passed away from a brain tumor, last month.
I am beyond grief, I can only pray that we all meet again someday, I hope you are with her......
Life is tough right now, ...it must be , hopefully heavenly wherever you are, .....until then, ......
Harriet

As we approach the one year anniversary of Kathy's passing, she is in my thoughts. I miss her. 

Kathy and I were good buds in elementary school at FMB. We’d collect mica in the school yard at lunchtime and hang together at her house and mine. I remember her beautiful fluffy angora cats. My sister and I were both close to Kathy’s sister Maureen too. 

Kathy my long time friend. I loved our times chasing bobcats and letting baby chicks and ducklings loose in your house as kids. And I loved our more recent times when we got together for heart to hearts. See you when I get there❤

I have her beloved shepherd , Ella, who is now 10 years old, I helped her with ellas mom when she was sick last year.
I am so sorry, and I pray that she went quietly and with no pain.
May you be running with all your shepherds now, kathy.
Harriet 

My dearest Kathy, I am going to miss you so much. The past years it was wonderful to get to know you, and become close. I only wish to have found out sooner. You will always be my shining star in life, your heart so pure. I always remember our last visit, lunch, thoughtful talks and a nice walk. May you take the love and spirit of the Kurdistan painting with you. Love you sweetie. Big tears, Melinda

I loved kathy with all my heart. We were together about 5 years, which were the happiest of my life. She was the kindest and most beautiful woman a man could hope for. She made my life worth it; and although our time together was short, i am grateful for every day we had together, and would do it all again. I love you, Zwin. Its not a goodbye, just an extended see you later.....ill wait
