I knew Kathy when she was at Fisher Price.  She was always warm and friendly and forever with a smile.  She was a good person and missed by all.

Joan, So sorry to hear of the passing of Kathy.  We are still in Florida and I read it on line.   My Heart goes out to you.  I know how close you two  were.  Know that I am thinking of you today.

As a member of the Holland Central class of 1973, and a classmate of Kathy's, I am so sad to hear of Kathy's passing. It sounds like she was as sweet a person now as I remember her being. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

Kathy you were always a friend to me.  I know I could always stop by and your would stop what you were doing and talk.  You will be missed a great deal. My condolenmces to the family.

Kathy was one of the most amazing people I had the honor of knowing.  When I think of her I hear her laugh in my heart and see her smile in my mind.  She gave a whole new meaning to dignity in the way she faced her life, her illness and her death.  I know she no longer has to deal the the rough days and she is finally without pain. As she was a blessing to all who knew herhere on earth,  she is now a blessing where she now resides.  God bless her and her family.

Joan and Paulie, As you know, many of us "Class of 73" brothers and sisters have lost someone we knew very well.  Many of us went past high school and into the work world - I choose to celebrate life.  Thank you for bringing such a centripetal force into our lives, as she would always pull us toward her.  She will be missed, but my memories will be of growing up, her "perfect" Valentines and the laughter.

We only saw each other 4 times, but you were always in my thoughts. You made me feel special and important each and every time. I will always remember your laugh and your hugs. I will miss you. Tears of comfort may go with you. Love always, Joy

Paul My deepest sympathy on the passing of your sister. She was our most loyal fan for our Little League team years back. Take care and God bless.  Sincerely Dick Geschwender

I am sorry to hear of Kathy's passing.  I worked with her at Fisher-Price many years ago and she always had a smile on her face and the ability to make me laugh.  My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I was saddened to learn of Kathy's passing.  I worked with her at Fisher-Price for many years and will always remember her fondly.  My heart and prayers go out to all the close friends & family at this most difficult time. May God bless you and lessen your pain.

Our deepest sympathy to you Joan, Paul and family.  Kathy fought a very hard battle with much grace, dignity and the most upbeat attitude I have ever seen.  Her smile and laughter were wonderful and she will be missed by many.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers to Kathy's family.  Kathy was a great person in and out of work.  She will be greatly missed.

Our deepest sympathies to you Joanne and your family.  I will always remember with fondness the beautiful flower gardens you and Kathy were always working on at your house.  I always enjoyed looking at them when we were neighbors.  You are all in our prayers.

I wish to express my deepest sympathy to  Mrs. Lingenfelter, Paul & his family.  
I got to know Kathy about 8 years ago.  She had previously been diagnosed  with her disease.  She always maintained a great attitude and she always looked so very healthy.  
When I saw Kathy this last fall before leaving for Florida for the winter....she did not have that healthy glow we all admired.  I was afraid her illness had taken it's toll on her and I guess it did.
We had many good times and we all enjoyed Kathy so much in our club.  We saw shows, did spa days, enjoyed dinners and much more together over a 5 year period of time.  We only get together once or twice a year now but, she will be sorely missed when we gather.  
Best Wishes to you all.

The heavens are going to be in order today……God has taken a great person to be part of his “organizational group” in Heaven. Kathy was a beautiful human being and a wonderful co-worker who kept us all on our toes and organized through all our meetings, travels, etc. We loved Kathy and she will truly be missed.

Our deepest condolences to all of her Family, I have worked with Kathy for many years as a supplier, and she always had a smile and made me feel welcome. It was a privilege to work with her, but to know her even more! She will be missed!

God bless Kathy's family.  She was a terrific person and always made you smile.  Fisher-Price lost a wonderful friend - Kathy will be greatly missed...
