Dear Robert, Nathan, and Nancy, your mother was a dear friend and an amazing woman. She taught me to bottle grape juice and peaches. She helped me with sewing projects. We cried and laughed together. I’m so grateful for the gospel and the knowledge that she has been reunited with your father And Jason. With love Wendy and Toney Bentley
Bubba and Kelly, so sorry to hear of your sad news. Sending our sincerest sympathy and condolences to you and your family.
I am sorry to hear of Kathy's passing. She was always so warm and kind to me. She sometimes hired me to babysit her children and I loved being in her home. I have fond memories of her at Hatch Patch and at family gatherings. I am sorry I will not be in town to attend her services.
I will always remember Mrs Ungricht as a very nice and soft spoken person. The moment I met her, I knew she was someone who was worthy of nothing less than respect. Rob and I met in the MTC in 1993. After the mission, Rob, his mother, and I surprisingly ran into each other at a Walmart in the Salt Lake Valley. I will forever be greatful to Mrs Ungricht for raising my best friend and brother Rob. I enjoyed the times I was able to visit with Mrs Ungricht while also visiting with Rob. You will be missed Mrs Ungricht. God bless you and Jerry and the whole Ungricht family throughout eternity.
I enjoyed reading about my cousin, Kathleen. She was 7 years older than me and I only knew her when I was a child. Her obituary tells a wonderful story of her good life. I wish we could attend the funeral, and we send our condolences to her surviving family members, her siblings, and to all of our Hatch relatives.
She was the best aunt anyone could wish for. I have so many good memories of Kathy. She was one of the kindest people I have ever known. My deepest sympathy and love to her wonderful family.
To a wonderful big sister, you will be missed. You gave me happy memories from child hood. I tried to fallow in your footsteps through life. Your sense of style and hummer is greatly missed.
Kathy was such a sweet and kind lady. I used to babysit when I was younger for her. She was always so nice to me and the kids were so cute.
Dear Bubba, Kellie, & family,
We hope you will find comfort in sweet memories of your mother and grandmother. I’m sure the blessings you have because of her good life are immeasurable. We love you.
Uncle Neal & Aunt Chris
