Aunt Kathy was an awesome person whom I have known for well over 50 years. She was always so loving toward me as a kid and so caring toward my children. I remember her back in the mid 1960’s coming over to our house on Sundays for family dinners and her enjoyment watching the Andy Williams television show in color. I once introduced her as my mom to my friends at work. So many great memories. God please take good care of her. She will be missed by so many of us here on earth.
Kathy was more than a sister. She was a lifelong friend and mentor. Rest In Peace.
We have known Kathy since Richard and I were on the Orthopedic Service at the Naval Hospital in Orlando, Florida in 1976. Starting in 1978 we both started a practice in Orthopedics in Cape Coral, Florida. We have many fond memories of Kathy and in recent years enjoyed getting together when they returned to Florida during the winter season. Rest in Peace. Jack and Ramsey Beaulieu.
Kathy gave her time as a volunteer with us at Cape Coral Hospital in the infection control department for 15 years. Her service was so greatly appreciated and she will be missed. We send our thoughts and prayers to the family.
I met Kathy in 1974 when we volunteered together in bible vacation camp. It was to be a great friendship for many years. Our thoughts and prayers are with Dick, Nicole and entire family. So sad, yet we were so blessed to know her. Bob and Nancy
Love and condolences to you all. “Mom II” was such an important and special person in my life, always expressing her love and support. She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. Blessings, Kris
