“…This is not, and never will be, a goodbye.
You should not, and never can hold onto
the should haves or could haves or why 
didn’t I’s.  The time will come, I promise
you, for us all to stop wearing these
bodies atop these souls.  The time of taking one long, full and deep breath in through these lungs only to exhale it out
through brand new lips.  The last light
we will ever see through these perfect
and beautiful eyes will be the first light,
the exact same and blindingly beautiful
first light that filters through new irises
and shocks our tiny pupils before we blink.
What a gift every single day in between
has always been.  What a hauntingly painful and sublimely joyous gift to live, truly live every single day in between these firsts and yes, these lasts. 
 Do not carry the weight of all you did not say, the times you did not make the time or the excuses you made, because there is a secret you must know: Those that leave us, never do. They see us how we never could and how we were always so scared to. When they go, bravely stepping into the first day of their new lives, all they pack into the bags they choose to carry, are the memories that soothe their longing and and settle their aching bones.  It is we, always we that carries the luggage of regret and burdens of doubt, and why?  Somewhere, right this very instant, the first wobbly steps in their search has begun again.  Somewhere, right this very second, they are beginning their journey back into love.  Somewhere,the only person that truly makes sense to them, the only person to ever exist and exist exactly for them, is waiting…”

Sending so much love to you all as you navigate this tremendous loss. Kathy was such an amazing light, and she loved you so very much.

Kathy Peck was one of the kindest and most even-keeled people I have ever met. She was consistently kind and generous to my family – and always a good listener. A beautiful person inside and out.

You can see her lasting goodness and beauty shine through her wonderful adult children — Michelle, Brian and Kevin — and grandchildren.

We will miss Kathy but know she is now with her husband Paul looking down from on high.

May God rest Kathy’s soul, and may Our Blessed Mother wrap her loving comfort around her family and friends who are mourning her loss.

My wife and I are saddened to hear of the passing of Kathy. I have known her for many years through my association with her at the City  of Saint Clair Shores. She was always very helpful, kind, patient, understanding and knowledgeable whenever I came to her for a question regarding retirement issues. Our prayers go out to the family for comfort and understanding at this sad time. May Kathy rest in peace for eternity.

Michelle, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. Her smiling face around WWT always made me smile. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest condolences. 

It’s rare to have an angel in your life. Kathy was in mine for years before I even realized how blessed I was to have her. We take for granted relationships when we are young, but as time passed, I soon realized, Kathy was sent to us, and to me, from God. 

It’s such a gift to know and love someone that is selfless, kind, warm, strong and courageous. She was all of those things and so much more. The memories shared by you all are testaments to her love for her family, friends and especially her children. 

She was so lucky to have put check marks in the boxes of her bucket list and to spend countless days on Lake Huron, playing in the sand with her grandchildren. 

I’m so much stronger and a better person for knowing Kathy. I’m pleased that I could make her laugh, and we could share so many lovely nights with book club, and share in exciting milestones with our friends.

There is another star in the sky now looking down on us, for that I am grateful. I will however, miss her dearly. I’m glad to say her kindness lives on in her children ♥️

Rest peacefully my love.

Y'all Remember this one. New Years Eve an all the kids( mine Toni and Greg's & of course It was with The Peck kids. I was in charge of getting the NON/ Alcoholic beverages.

My heart break for the passing of my wonderful, beautiful, kind friend. She will be missed. R. I.P. Kathy.  

My best memory of Kathy was when she started working for City of St Clair Shores and she stopped me and said, do you vacation in Canada? I said yes. It ended up our families both vacationed at Evergreen Resort the same week each year.  Kathy hung out with her big family and my family hung out with other families up there.. From that point we had a bond and continued to vacation with each ever for many years and our kids hung out together.  What a blessing.  Love you Kathy and your family. Diane❤️❤️❤️

Michelle and Brian, I remember your family from the Thursday night meetings.  All of you always stood out in my mind as a favorite family and people in my almost 30 yr career.  So sorry to read about the loss of your special parents!  You and your family will be in my prayers!  Sincerely, Suzanne Sopfe

Kathy was a co-worker, but more than that, she was a friend. A real, true, caring friend, to me and to everyone she encountered. She would literally do anything for anyone at anytime. No questions asked. 
Once, all the cars on my street had their tires slashed, including mine. The dealerships didn't have the tires I needed right away, so I had no car for about a week. Kathy offered picked me up every morning. She was there, on time, everyday, without needing or wanting anything in return.  You could count on her. 
I am better for knowing Kathy. 
The nicest person I have ever met without a doubt. 
She had a huge heart and I will remember her always.

Friends and neighbors for 24 years with the greatest memories! So much love and laughter, never to be forgotten! We love you all! Reach out if you need anything. XO The Ciraulo family
