kathi, I will rember you and think of you so very often. Here is a quote wrote by Robert Lest: If by chance you wish to rember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you. If you do all I have asked, I will live forever. My thougts and prayers go out to Joe and all the rest of her family.

My love and prayers to Kathi's family and friends who bear the loss of never seeing Kathi's smile or hearing her voice. Though physically separated from us, she will live on in our hearts and memories forever. May the peace, love and strength of Christ be with us all.

My beloved sister, Kathi, of whom most of my memories are of her childhood, will be dearly missed. Those memories of two, toeheaded twins getting in constant mischief but constantly lighting up all of our lives are impressed in my memory forever. Her constant pain is now gone as she lives with her savior in eternity.

Kathi was a very loving compassionate person to those of our fellowship that reached out to her for help in their recovery from addiction. Kathi had a very strong voice that when she spoke you listened. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her share her experiences. She will be sadly missed by MANY members of our fellowship. The loss of a loved one so close is extremely hard to bare.

My thoughts and prayers are with Joe and the rest of her family and MANY friends.
