Kathleen Doody Obituary

Dear Kathy,



I would not have known you if not for your kind and

encouraging letters to me and my late wife Rachel when

she was passing the difficult days of many operations.

Rachel loved you and your letters where you had shown

a big heart and warm sympathies which, also, had fully

captured my respect and imagination.



You have determined and insisted to be with your

husband and got it.

Strange as that may be, we should be happy that you

have achieved your heart's wish.



I have passed the trauma of such a big loss, the pain

and suffering, but your family and whoever thinks of

Kathy should resign to His will and your wish.



Hard to say, yet so sorry I must say:

"Goodbye Dear!"



Jane and Toufee

To Kathy's family:



Words can't express the sadness I have when I heard of Kathy's passing.

Growing up at St. Michael's and being with Kathy thru 1st communion, Religious Ed Classes,Confirmation, and being of course an altar boy will always be some of my fondest memories of Kathy to me.

I will always remember how proud she was of me when I became a funeral director. She told me it was a "calling" I had. I truly believe that.. And now she has had her "calling" to the lord. Now I picture Kathy playing her organ and Bob playing his guitar, together again playing the music I had the privledge to listen to for many years. I will miss Kathy and the inspiration she instilled in me growing up.



Love John Martin

Dear Kathy and Family,

While I never got to know you, Kathy, I heard of you through Avi and Peggy Farah. Both told me that you were remarkably sincere, genuinely kind, deeply respectful of others, and endlessly committed to your church and the Lord.

Since you were so in life, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to guess where you'd be in the hereafter.

May your precious soul enjoy peaceful bliss.



Sincerely,

Sam Farah

We were sorry to hear about Kathy's passing. We always enjoyed her beautiful music at Church and are thankful for her music ministry to St Michaels. God bless you during these difficult times.

Jim and Eunice Doring and Family.

I remember Sundays after Mass, over coffee and stollen that Kathy baked, she would visit with my Aunt Rosemary Leonard in her kitchen on Stowe Avenue. She was just a young girl at the time but her company and friendship meant so much to my Aunt. I will always remember her sweet compassion for others and her angelic voice as she sang the "Ave Maria" for my Aunt, my mother and father when they were laid to rest. May the angels now sing for her.

Dear Heaphy family - How many of you and in-laws have I worked with and loved ! Cathy was such an angel and with the voice of an angel. Every time I saw her she always remembered something to let you know you were loved and appreciated. Because I had no relatives this side of the NMissippi I always felt you were family. I am so glad Kathy and Bob found each other and are now reunited in heaven.

Kathy You were the Kindest person We have ever met. Our Kids were blessed to know someone like you. You were an inspiration in everyone's life. We all will miss you. Enjoy eternal life with your partner. Love Tammy,Schawn & KIDS

I will always carry with me fond memories of Kathy. When I was young, the fun times we shared being a part of St. Michael's family. She was my mentor when I made my confirmation, taught me to sing when I joined the choir and shared her beautiful voice when I married. I absolutely loved her. She made everyone she came in contact with feel special. She will be deeply missed.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

To Kathy's family:

Our sincerest condolances and sympathy for your loss.



Kathy,

We all felt your kindness and thoughtfulness, depite the distance between us, as you always sent something to encourage us to keep on going and living.

Love,

Farah/Sharma Families

Dearest Kathy,

No words could ever explain how much you will be missed. Though we all know that you are now back with Bob and happy as usual, you'll be greatly missed. For all of the times at practice when you made me into a singer and person that I'm proud of, I thank you with all of my heart. You are so influential in my life and I'll never forget all that you've done. Just do one thing for us, rest comfortably with Bob until we get the chance to see you again.

Love you

Christine

Dear Kathy,

I hope you can see this now! Even though this is a very sad thing, I'm glad that you are back with Bob. I know thats what you wanted, so I'm happy that you're happy! I'll never forget the day because it was on my 14th birthday. I'll never forget you and I will always love you.

All my love to you and Bob

To Kathy and Family,



Kathy was a person who thought of everyone all the time, she made sure that no one went without a gift around the holidays and made sure that everyone felt welcome.

Kathy was the oldest sister but was more willing to fill in the role of a friend, a conversationalist and someone to laugh with.



Kathy you left an emotional void at your departure.



With all my love,

Avi Farah

Dear Kathy,

No words can express the sense of loss our family feels at your passing. You will be greatly missed! At the same time, I'm feeling joy for I know that both you and Bob are finally resting comfortably together at home with God. :) Welcome home, Kath. Keep singing with her Bob; we will be listening.. Love & Prayers ~ JoAnn, Brian and Melissa Davis xoxoxoxo

Dear Heaphy Family

I was deeply saddened when I heard about Kathy's passing-she was a wonderful person and loved everyone-god bless all of you in your time of healing-knowing her and Bob are together again is the greatest gift to one another as they were truly blessed with love.

On behalf of Kathy and the Heaphy - Doody Families, I wish to express our gratitude to the people of St. Michael the Archangel Church for their kindness, support, and love extended to our sister, during her recent mourning and illness. Please find comfort in knowing that Kathy and Bob have completed their life's work in reaching their ONLY goal - to walk hand in hand with GOD in PARADISE! As Kathy and Bob would say to ALL, upon waving goodbye..."God Bless you!"
