    Dear Vince and family,

    The more we experience our own personal losses the more we can relate with others going through the pain and grief of their loss. May the times and memories you all shared with Kathy bring you comfort in the moments and days ahead. Know my thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this time and that Jesus Himself walks each step of the way with you – carrying you in His arms. Psalm 34:18

    Sincerely,
    Carole

    Family,

    I am so glad that in the past few years Kathy and I were able to be reunited . . . . . . friends in high
    school (or before) are just the best. Graduation comes, years go by, but we were able to spend some
    very fun and memorable times together again these past few years!! She is free, no pain any longer. My prayers for you as you walk these next very hard months ahead. Vince , From experience I know that time does heal your heart, but nothing takes away those memories . . . . . . hold them tight forever!

    God has called a fine woman home to Heaven. I will always remember the fun times Kathy and I had. She always had a smile and could always make me laugh. You will be missed my dear friend.
