My dear cousin Kathy ,so many happy memories of your visit home to Ireland and then our time together in Arizona when I visited you and your mom. My love and thoughts are with Nick and the boys and all Kathy’s family . I also want to mention her last remaining sibling Geraldine who will of course be in grieving for her sister who shared so many happy family
Memories with . Rest now kathy and sing with the rest of the Coady’s up there ☘️🌻. Love you ,Molly 

I was a brand new convert in Christ! I mean raw! Nick and Kathy was the first family from that Church to invite this jarhead for dinner one evening. The Church I attended was predominantly Puerto Rican 🇵🇷. I figured dinner was going to be comida Puertoriqueńa. When I arrived at the Rodriguez Home, something amazing happened right before dinner! Kathy had served dinner with wonderfully warm “tortillas!” That small gesture blew me away about God’s goodness and tender mercies. Imagine that! A Beautiful-Irish-Big-Apple-Lassie serving Mexican tortillas to this new convert who had recently started attending that ministry. Nick, Kathy, Harry, Margie Rodriguez and I became good friends, fellow servants in Christ, and members of God’s Kingdom Family. The Rodriguez Clan will always have a special place in my heart. Kathy Rowdy-Rod, we’ll see you in The Resurrection. We’ll one day jam together for an Audience of One under The Justified Crew Banner.
In the light yoke of Jesus Christ,
Chezbo~~

My beautiful friend Kathy,
I will never forget you!
I have so many wonderful memories of us doing life together. Some are sweet like you carrying my girls as babies and spending time with them as they were growing up!  Others are just plain hilarious! Like our “London Broil” moment!
We laughed so hard that day and so  many other times throughout the years! 
Your contagious laughter has a way of brightening  up the room! I know you’re doing just that in Heaven even now.
I love you and will miss you my dear friend, but I so look forward to the day I see you again and get to share a good belly-aching laugh with you!❤️Janet

~Nick, Boys and Family, our hearts hurt with yours right now and we pray for you!  But, we look forward to that day of rejoicing when we’ll ALL be together once again!! We love you all so much!❤️

My Sweet Kathy,
I've known and loved you my whole life, and what a blessing you were to me, our entire family, and everyone lucky enough to know you. 
I have so many fond memories of doing life with you; watching and listening to you sing, swimming in your pool for hours, practicing with the choir in church, and listening to you burst out in laughter with THE greatest laugh (that I can even hear through all these precious photos). One of my favorites was at Ali and Veronica's wedding, where I played the Bridal Chorus and Wedding March on piano, and you sang Unchained Melody. I was so nervous, but being up there on stage with you was so comforting. You've been a comforting presence to me since I was a baby, and even all those years later when I last saw you at the beach in 2019- after way too many years, you made my soul smile.
I love you dearly and will miss you always, but I will see you again.  

To Nick, Nicky, Gerard, and Eddie:
Thank you for sharing her with us. We both grieve and celebrate Kathy's life with you. Praying for you all to have peace and comfort knowing where she is and that this isn't forever. Love you all! ❤ Missy

I’ve known Kathy since I was a baby. I have so many fond memories of being with her and Papi. Both are part of the village that raised me! I couldn’t be more grateful to have known her personally And been in her presence growing up.  I always looked forward to watching her sing on the big stages with the bright lights! She will always have a special place in my heart!

Kathy a powerhouse of a singer! It was a privilege to sing beside you! Especially the song we sang the most together. “Another Time and Another Place”. The lyrics seem so appropriate for such a time  as this! When we sang it we felt the anticipation of meeting Jesus one day! And my friend you have! I love you so much. You and Nick and the boys have always been family to me. 
A woman of God real with your relationship with Him. Funny! Always a fun time around you. A beautiful soul and now …. “all your hopes and dreams were captured with one look at Jesus face!” You will always be in my heart and  this song will always remind me of you…..

 Another Time and Another Place

I've always heard there is a land
Beyond the mortal dreams of man
Where every tear will be left behind
But it must be in another time
There'll be an everlasting light
Shining a purest holy white
And every fear will be erased
But it must be in another place
So, I'm waiting for another time and another place
Where all my hopes and dreams will be captured
With one look at Jesus' face
Oh, my heart's been burnin'
My soul keeps yearnin'
Sometimes I can't hardly wait
For that sweet, sweet someday
When I'll be swept away
To another time and another place

This is what love looks like such a wonderful couple 

The start of one of many wonderful days we spent together having lunch with family & friends before we headed to the Toupe Theater to see the play another 1st time for me at the restaurant. I will cherish all the memories we shared together and thank you for loving me welcoming me into your life from the day we meet we hit it off and as the years went on you became my sister in Christ my true friend someone to pray with praise God with be myself with my Pray warrior so many things I could say nothing would come close to the love and respect I have for you. Rest easy Queen 

Kathy,
I have so many wonderful memories of you. The one that is always brought up till this day was when you sang, at the park, as a church outreach, to the U2 song with your own lyrics, "I can't live if living is without You." It was so powerful. Everyone at the park stopped and listened in awe. I will never forget how that song touched my life. You had such an amazing voice and you used it to spread the word of God. Thank you for coaching me in choir and helping me develop my voice. I truly cherish that time. Heaven has a new Angel now and we will miss you dearly, until we meet again. To the family, I am praying for peace and for God's comfort. I love you all.     
                                      

 We met Kathy and Nick in Gaeta, Italy when Robert and Nick were serving aboard the USS Albany. 

We have been blessed by a friendship that has spanned nearly  45 years. We made so many memories  but our favorite has always been how we almost lost connection because of all the military moves until that one fateful day. 

In what we can only describe as God’s providence, Robert and Kathy randomly  ran into each other at a neighborhood store in Southern California.

 The rest is now our life story as our friendship grew deeper; we served our God together, we raised our children, met each other’s grand babies, we laughed and wept  through joys and sorrows. 

We will miss you our beloved Kathy but we cling to that blessed assurance that it is goodby for now my friend until we meet again!! 

Nancy and Robert Reyes

Life is a journey of sweetness & sorrow, Of yesterday’s memories & hopes for tomorrow, Of pathways we choose & detours we face. With patience & humor, courage & grace,  Of joys that we’ve shared & of people we’ve met. Who have touched us in ways we will never forget. Kathy was 1 of a kind she had all these qualities &  much more a true friend amazing wife, mother, daughter,  sister, Aunt, grandmother,  In-law like no other she will be truly missed. May you all find solace in knowing she touched many people along the way I am truly blessed to have had her as my friend. Sending love & prayers to the family with all my love Ava Vauthier
