Kathy & Terry. My Family and my hearts go out to you and your family. 
I have just learned of this recently. 
We all started on Talman Avenue. A little community going to a little family Church. 
It was rough but we all made it survive. 
I grew up with this family, my Dad grew up next door with Terry. I remember Kathy & Terry from a little kid. 
I am in tears of learning of this, as Kathy rests in peace. 
I am so sorry. I love you all. 

Bill Dubinski Jr and the Dubinski family, formally 2626 N. Talman Ave, Chicago Ill, 60647

Mom I miss you so much.  Trying to take care of Dad and mike.  You will never realize how much you were loved.  A lot of hearts are breaking by missing you so much. You were the best mother and Friend.  You always protected me and guided me.  I love you so much and hope to see you soon. Love you momma.

My prayers are with you all at this time. Kathy will be missed dearly. Nancy Baehr & family

Our sincere and deepest condolences. We are so lost for words. We pray that God gives you and your family much strength and comfort during this difficult time.                                                                                                                                                                     Sincerely
                                         Angie and Roxanne Mocodeanu

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at the sad time.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

 Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
 Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
 That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
 God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

 It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

 God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not  be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

So sorry to hear of Kathy's passing. I have many great memories of spending time with Kathy and family at church, in choir and lots of retreats and events. I pray that you will know God's peace and comfort as you celebrate her life.

I miss you like crazy all ready!.. I feel privileged to have had the time we spent together. I know your walking with God and the pain has stopped but I wish I could tell you just one more time In person how much I LOVE YOU.. I know you'll drop in once in awhile to check on your girls and that helps me deal. Until we meet again I will always tell Marci and your grand daughters how much you love them...Never good bye...always see you later...
Love your Son In-Law
