ReplyDeleteKathy was an exuberant ball of fire. Enthusiastic and always happily positive. We had wonderful times goofing around riding our horses together. She taught me so much, and was always happy to help. Will miss your bright smile and attitude. Prayers to the family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful person Kathy was...May she rest in peace,
ReplyDeleteJerry Sherry,Scott and Shelly, I am lucky to have known her. She was always pleasant and energetic when we saw each other. She, and you guys, made us feel welcome and at home, whether it be supplying food for Villa Marquette, the annual softball game between the Villa and the Sutton's Bay team, or simply meeting in town. I am grateful to her and to you. May God grant you consolation and peace. May you, like me, rejoice the times we had together,and cherish her fond memory
