Kathy's cousin Jimmy
It's too bad that we lived so far apart, so we didn't see too much of each other but I treasured the times together.  Growing up my sister Sharron and I spent many Christmas Eves at Aunt Rosie's and 
remember Kathy as a cute little girl as well as her brothers who loved to wrestle with me.
Later Aunt Rosie and Kathy visited me in Colorado and we took a ride to Telluride (Aunt Rosie thought the mountains were ugly)
Kathy thought that was funny. Once when I came to Chicago
we all met at Red Snapper and it was great to see Kathy , her brother and wife and Vicky and her family.
Farewell to my sweet cousin
With love
Jim











Kathy was my best friend.    Almost every day we spend time  together,    to talk, to laugh  watch  TV and drive to stores.                        We  had good times and bad times. On the bad times we holding hands.         I wish she didn't have to go so soon.                          I miss her.                                                                Love Monika 

Kathy
My favorite memories of you, are from when you had sleep overs for Vicky's birthday. We had so much fun , you telling spooky stories, or when we played the Ouija board and we all laughed. You always treated me like family. I think the last time I saw you, was at my birthday dinner. I enjoyed that so much. I will never forget. You are missed, love you.

Aunt Kathy, 

You have always been a positive and guiding light in my life. I’ll never forget our steak birthday dinners (one of which may or may not have put me in the hospital, hah) and the competitive Trivia Pursuit games that ran late into the night. 

You are missed! 

With love,
Your nephew Johnny

Mom -
I already miss you so very much. You were always so generous, warm and fiercely protective. I could call and talk to you about anything and everything. I know you were sad recently thinking you would not be with us to celebrate Mark's 16th birthday or the boys' weddings one day but I am glad you were here  to be such an important part of our lives and Mark, Matt and Mason will always remember their Grandma Kathy with fond and dear memories. I wish we had more time with you. I know you and Gram are together having fun and looking down on Gregg, Mark, Matt, Mason and me from Heaven.

We will love you forever and think of you often.

Love, 
Vicki

I have many lovely memories of my dear cousin Kathy  ~ beginning with the day she was born  ~ my mom her auntie Tinie and our family were  at the hospital the day she was born giving comfort to my aunt Rosie Also our annual Christmas Eve get togethers with her and my rambunctious cousins ~ Michael, John & Will 
All the visits we made some with my son Sean and our sightseeing trips around Chicago. Kathy was the perfect and gracious hostess . I will miss her. 

I visited her a her when she broke her shoulder and we had a wonderful time.  Was planning on seeing her this year,  Before that I hadn't seen her since moving to Arkansas.  I was hoping to bring her back to Arkansas as she said she wanted to visit here.

I always thought of Kathy as my little sister. Of us four girl cousins she was the youngest. Don’t remember when I took Kathy to my favorite restaurant in downtown Chicago right across from the Shubert theatre. We had lunch and then went across to the theatre to see a play. I was really acting’ the big sister!! I hope it was as good a memory for her as it’s been for me.
