Kathy is beautiful inside and out.  She embodied love.  Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres.  (1 Corinthians 13: 4-7) To know her is to love her. 

According to Chuck, Kathy’s husband, “I don't know how many times I said to Kathy. I can't wait until we get to Heaven to see the person I know here on earth. A person that has done the Lord’s commandments. A peaceful loving person to All and Never a Harsh Word did I ever hear Kathy speak. I'll Love You Forever and Always Your Husband. Chuck.   PS, THANK YOU KATHY MY LOVE!”
