I am so so sorry to hear about Kathy's passing. She was such a special person and a great friend growing up. We spent many hours together riding horses and sharing stories. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding and will always have a special place in my heart. My love and heart felt tears go out to all of her family. I am sure she will be missed by many. Such a lovely person with a great smile always on her face.

Dear Amanda,
We are so very sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was a lovely woman and friend and I am remembering the time she came to my house for your baby shower and you revealed Annabelle's name. It was such a special moment, one that I will never forget and we have it on video if you ever want to watch it. We will be here for you when you need us in Colorado. Love and Hugs,
Katie, Lucette and Erik Lichtsteiner

Tommy,

So sorry for the loss of, Kathy was a wonderful person. I loved so much picking on her when I could. Allot of times she didn't know how to take me. I remember so well when Nancy was living with them when we met, that I met Kathy, & the family, it was always a joy to be around her except when the Buffaloe came ou. I would sometime set back and laugh, because I would not take her serious. Cancer is a very bad thing, and she gave her all, God Bless her, and your family, she will be greatly missed. Nancy and I send our Prayers to you and the family.

God Bless
Jesse/Nancy
