    To Kathy’s family:
    I’m not sure that anyone will see this a whole year later, but was recently looking at St. Cloud obituaries and noticed that Marian had passed. I thought I would be able to see Kathy, as I had when she came to Minnesota for her Dad’s funeral. I was shocked to find out she is gone. The lesson learned is “keep in touch” with those who are special to us no matter how far away they live. Kathy and I met when she was 18 and I was 17. One of the reasons we became close was our shared astrological sign. I am grateful for the fun and crazy times we had and will always regret not being able to see her again. So sorry for your loss.

    I am so sad I will not be able to attend Kathys celebration of life. Kathy was like a second mommy to me as a child all the fond memories we all had will not be forgot. She will always be one of the kindest sweetest most loving soals I will ever meet. She has such a big heart and a beautiful radiance about her. She will be greatly missed. A special prayer goes out to her family from mine, much love to you all.

    I was so sorry to hear that Kathy had passed, she was such an awesome lady! A great sister inlaw, who my brother Wayne was lucky to have met, she had such a positive vibe about her, (a Lady of the Earth if you will). My sincere condolence to her children, my thoughts are with you, may She rest in Peace!

    I can’t believe she is gone. I miss our visits across the street while we were out working in the yard (something we both loved equally) .
    Kathy loved her family above all. I met many of you through Tulip Town. She was so proud of all of you.
    Kathy had special spirt to her. You could feel her love.
    Memories are what will keep her with you. She will always be part of our lives.
    I was lucky to call her my friend and I miss her.

  • Barb R
