Guestbook/Condolences
Sending much love and prayers of comfort to all those that will miss her dearly. She was an amazing lady!
I have known Kathy for nearly 25 years and I have been grateful for her kindness and generosity over the years. Her son, Ryan, and his wife, Adrianne, are some of our most treasured friends. Kathy (and Kent) always treated my husband Danny and I with love, respect, and a giving heart. It is due to her warm spirit that allowed Danny to visit Maui on multiple occasions, becoming his favorite place on Earth. Danny's last wish was to take our kids to Maui, and Kathy helped make that happen before he passed. Kathy was always welcoming with a hug and a bright smile. I am grateful I was able to connect with Kathy and be a small yet welcome part of her incredible family throughout the years. I love you, Kathy, and I mourn with your family, especially Ryan and Adrianne.
I’m so sorry to hear about Kathy’s passing. I watched the funeral this morning and it was a beautiful tribute to her. Prayers for peace and comfort to your family.
