Never prepared to hear of the sudden death of a friend. Kathy and I spent 12 years together in St Mary's and Marion Catholic and then 3 years together at Mount Carmel where we both became nurses. I will remember Kathy for her love of Ray, her quiet manner and her beautiful smile. My sympathy to all her family.

For quite a number of years she and her husband took care of Millie, Kathleen's mother. I have nothing but fine memories of Kathleen. All of Kathleen's family will be in my prayers.

It is a somber time when a relative passes. I am saddened Kathy has left us so soon. I didn't know her more than the rare extended family get-togethers but I will remember her as a cousin who selflessly helped others and was always there in a time of need, for her family as well as ours. I am sure Kathy is still with us in that spirit as we grieve this day.

Sorry for the loss of your family member who is sleeping in death and waiting for the hope that Jehovah God gave to all mankind through His son Jesus Christ. John 3:16 and 11:21-27, There is two things that the True God can not do, Lie and Die. Jesus Die and is now King in the Kingdom. Trust God to do His work, He keeps His word. Titus 1:2.
