Today is a year since you gained your wings.  I miss you so!!! Life is for living as you always said to me.  I planted a flower for you today and spent time with family.  I love you.

Aunt Kathy it’s been over a week and it’s still not real it just ain’t real ain’t fair! There are so many things I want to tell you & share with you!! I know you are in a much better place than all of us, give grandma & aunt Debra love till we all meet again!! RIP and fly high beautiful!! I love & miss you!!

My sweet loveable sister it has been a week since I saw you.  You were still not feeling well after a doctors visit.  I am so sleepy is the last words I heard you say to me. You are in heaven now and I here it is a busy place, no time for naps.  I will always love you more... Tell my Mama, brother, and Larry I will be there when God calls me home. I miss your free spirt.  I  miss your smile and laughter.  You were always the life of a celebration.  I love you and will always be there for your son.  The family will always be together for each other.

Sorry for your loss Cody. Your mom was a great woman!! Take care of yourself and Graylen and I’m here if you need me!!

Kathy is my mom's best friend of 46 years. I've known Kathy since I was 4 years old. She was my second mom. We even all lived together for awhile. We were also pregnant together with our 1st born boys. My heart is broken with this loss. I have always admired her free spirit and her laugh was music to my ears. Life will never be the same without you. I love you Kathy!

Love you Aunt Kathy I will miss you so much! 

I remember meeting you for the first time, You were so kind and welcoming. You always made me feel like family! I will never forget how excited you were to meet Everleigh, You & grandmama were at camp & both video chatted with us as soon as we got home. My little family loved you so much, We will miss you! We will see you later 🙏🏼💕

Going camping down at James land every year as kids. No matter what she always had a fire going. Definitely the nicest person I knew. Loved her so much and will miss her dearly. 

Les and I would see Kathy almost everyday at Ruth’s house. She had an awesome laugh and a bubbling personality. She will be missed and remembered as a good friend. 

Aunt Kathy always had the biggest smile! And no matter what in life throughout the years she has treated me just like a part of the family! I will always miss you sweet lady! Prayers to the family for peace and comfort! 

A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.
