Kenneth and family
So sorry to hear of the
passing of Kathy. We love
and are praying for all.
So sorry to learn of Kathy’s death. It was my pleasure to work beside her (and learn from her) at Trinity as we prepared meals for Wednesday night suppers and other occasions.. She was a joy to know and a blessing to many. She will be sorely missed by her many friends and family.
Ken and family you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so glad I met Kathy many years ago and was able to work with her at Trinity after school. Kathy was such a light for Christ in her words and actions. I was able to share things with her and she was always there to put a different spin on it and show the love of Christ. I looked at Kathy as a second mom and an awesome mentor that will truly be missed. David and I pray for comfort and peace during this time for everyone that had the privilege of knowing Kathy.
Love,
Lisa & David Rathy

Ken, we are so deeply grieved by this. You and Kathy were great to Kaitlyn, and we will never forget her heart. We are praying for you during this time for comfort and healing. We’re here for you brother. With love, Mike and Tara Hurst and family.
Ken, I am so sorry for your loss. I have certainly been praying for you. Kathy was such a sweet, sweet lady.
Kathy kept me straight at work more than once. She was remarkable. I feel so blessed to have known her. I pray for God’s peace in each of your minds and hearts. Vickie Burrell
I can hardly believe my eyes reading the words put forth on this paper.Kathy was my big sister,my confidante, she gave me a home when I needed one,she fed me. When I was little she would brush my hair and play with me.Kathy was one in a million.When Wade died I thought Kathy would die too from grief. Ken, you must of been something very very special to have captured her heart second time. I lost contact with her over the years I am sad to say but I never stopped thinking or loving my big sister.Bonnie,Sammy and Vicki, you all still fill a special place in my heart. Much love to you all
