With deepest sympathies…
Mary Beth and John, you have my deepest condolences. May you feel God’s peace and comfort at this difficult time.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Kathy and I taught religious Ed together. She was a lovely lady. God Bless.
I always remember Kathy laughing and smiling!! She was a real sweetheart! I have a memory from a family reunion at the Turkey Farm and Tony running to her and picking her up and putting her over his shoulder and carrying her off! The two were laughing and having so much fun! Great lady! Great couple! Wonderful family!! Love to all of you ❤
