Two years ago...not a good day. We all miss her smiles and hugs.

I will so miss being with my co-granny, Kathy at our family get-togethers. Family was really important to her. We stood with our arms around each other and tears in our eyes as we admired our granddaughter Ava through the glass at the hospital nursery, hours after she was born. Our youngest granddaughter, Ivy, called us Brown Granny and White Granny. She was too young to keep our names straight, so she went by the color of our hair. Brown Granny loved being with her grandchildren and always had adventures and activities to share with them. I grieve with them for losing her at such a young age.

I am so sorry for the loss of a long time friend of almost 30 years.  We met at Maple Crest Nursing Home where we both worked. Our children have been friends with each other just as long. A kind hearted and fun loving lady. You will be missed my friend. May God bless and rest your soul.  You left us way too soon.    

Kathy was like a second mother for so many. She had a kind heart and always welcomed me in to their home. My condolences during this time. I know she's with her family now and making sure to watch over all of us.

I just can't believe Kathy is not with us! My heart goes out to her family. I can't imagine what they are going through. She adored you all. Kathy was such an amazing, smart,funny, kind, person with a heart of gold. She was one of the best caregivers I ever met. I  great leader and such a hard worker.  But most of all she was an awesome friend.  I loved her very much. There's a huge hole in my heart. Paint class won't be the same. 

Kathy, I knew her as (mom), it’s been several years since I saw her but I remember all 4 girls cracking her up and her great smile.  I remember having to go and get milk in the Astro van because she didn’t drive, and I remember she taught me what a strong woman was.  She could see through all of our shenanigans, and the B.S.  she will be greatly missed. 
Save travels Kathy. Love you.
