I am so sorry to lose Kathy. She was such a loving beautiful christian woman. Even though she went through such trials she foundlove with John. She will be missed and I cannot image what you are going through. Even though she no longer hurts and is with God, that does not stop us from hurting terrible bad. May God be with you every minute of ever day to comfort you. I love you.

Eric, Becky and I would like to pass on our heartfelt condolences to you and your extended family. For the time that we knew your Mom was not long enough. But the time shared was a joy. It is sad when we get caught up in our everyday routine of life. That we never have opportunity enough to enjoy every soul that come and go in our lives. Respectfully with Love... Becky & Terry Lane
