I am now 63 yrs old and have known Kay since I was 19 yrs old. We met at National Semiconductor. She meant so much to me that I cannot begin to tell you. We had a special bond, due to our losses of our children. Leland and I had a wonderful visit in March of this year and I am so happy to have spent the time with her. Kay will forever be in my heart. She was a true friend and I will miss her so.
My deepest sympathy to the family.

Kate, you will be remembered. I always enjoyed talking to you. I will always remember your kindness and warm personality.
Condolences to your family here, as the others welcome you in heaven.

                                                                                                                                                    AUNT KATE MAY YOU REST IN PEACE WITH OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY   THE COLLIS FAMILY JOE & KATHY MEGAN SEAN & CAITLIN NORRISTOWN PA.

Grandma, This has been a tough week saying good-bye.  I have so many memories you have given me, something I will cherish forever.  I miss your smile and laugh already, but know you are reunited with Grandpa, my Dad, Tom, and Maryanne.  Thank you for all you have done for Myself, Helen, Alyssa, and Makaila.  We love you...

Grama GG Kate, you were such a character and I always enjoyed visiting with you.  You, Grampa Jack, Bill and Darlynda from the first day I met you all, some 18 years ago, I was welcomed into your family like I was one of your own.  It was easy to see why Noah took your family the way he did/has.  You all were just like a second set of parents/grandparents to Noah and I felt the same.  I will miss hearing your stories and seeing your smiling face, but I know you are just fine now that you are reunited with your children and husband.  Forever in our hearts. Love for you always.

Gigi.... I don't know where to begin.... You were such an amazing woman who touched my heart in a very special way. I looked forward to seeing you each and every day, and the adventures in store. We had so much fun together, and always found something to laugh or joke about. We developed a close bond very quickly, and shared so much with one another.... I feel so extremely privileged and honored to not only have cared for you, but been blessed with having such an incredible lady in my life. You are already missed so much, but will forever be in my heart <3 May you rest in peace and enjoy at last being reunited with your loved ones.

 Kay, you will truly be missed, but fondest memories will be with us forever! Rest in peace sweet angel...

Our deepest sympathy to you all.  We will miss her very much.  Thanks for posting these wonderful photos.  She loved her family so very much.  She will be in our hearts forever.  Love from the Larsen Family.

Dearest Darlynda and family,
Our deepest condolences at the loss of our beloved Kate.  Although I didn't see her very often, I have some wonderful memories of visiting the family as a teenage in Santa Clara.  She made us feel so welcome. When Aunt Kate and Uncle Jack came to Florida to visit with my parents, Frank and Josie, my husband, myself and my children came down from NJ to see them and we had a great time.   She spoke of you with tremendous pride and she felt the same unconditional love and respect about you and your children .  I am so glad, she had you to watch over her and care for her in such a loving manner.  She is at rest now with her family and her Lord.  May  this knowledge fill you with the peace of Our Lord and know she will always watch over all of you.  Her spirit lives on in each of you.  
Your Cousin in NJ

Thank you Mom for your unconditional Love, support, and friendship through the years.  You'll never be forgotten and always loved.  

I know you are in a better place and have had some special people waiting to welcome you to a glorious new home.  Peace be with you.....

Darlynda
