John, Janice and Julie,
I was so saddened today when I saw Kathy passed away. Such wonderful memories when you lived next door and I babysat the girls as newborns. My first memory of babysitting and truly enjoying what good neighbors are. It makes for a lifetime of always appreciating good people,. May her memory always be a blessing to all of you. Cathy Caplan

Our prayers to you and family. My memories of Kathy as we worked at Apache throughout the grade school years. It was a happy time for us and our young children. We planned field days and carnivals and bake sales and cookbooks. It was always a good time for us to meet at Apache and enjoy our time. Memories are so special and help us through this difficult time. God bless you.

To the Crume family, our sincerest sympathy. When I saw Kathy's picture in the paper, it took a few seconds for me to place her, and when I did, it made me smile. During the Schottenheimer era, we had 2 Chiefs season tickets next to Kathy and John. No matter which two members of my family attended, Kathy always greeted us with her warm smile and kind words. She became a favorite part of our memories in attending those games, and we still can hear her cheering....”KIMBALLLLLLLLLLLLL!” or “GIVE IT TO MARCUS!!”
We know she will be dearly missed by family and friends and we hope your many memories of her will bring you comfort.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family, John. Kathy and I spent many hours together at the bridge table. She was a wonderful hostess, warm and caring. Her daughters were her life, and then when the grandkids came along they took center stage. Kathy was a woman of deep faith and I feel certain she is in God's hands. Prayers and blessings to the entire family. Linda Balzano
