Remember me with smiles and laughter
for that is how I will remember you all
If you can only remember me with tears
then don’t remember me at all.
People can leave lasting foot prints on others hearts that is for sure. When I think of Kathy, I think back of the softball days, company picnics and vehicle trouble. We worked together for years but most of the memories where of the fun times we all had outside the shop. I am blessed to have known her and her family along with friends I meet along the way because of her. I am so glad that we had the opportunity to re-connect through social media the last few years. She was such a good person, she will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers to Rick, Jeff, Brandie and Amanda and families. Kathy’s memories will always be with us, she was a kind, caring and loving person. My memories of Kathy also goes back to softball and to church. She will be greatly missed. A special message for the family..
WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME:
When tomorrow starts without me try and understand. That an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand; The angel said my place was ready, in Heaven far above and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But when I walked through heavens gate I felt so much at home., for God looked down and smiled at me and told me “Welcome Home”. So when tomorrow starts without me, Don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me I’m right there in your heart!
Rest In Peace dear lady. Always kind and soft spoken.
