Dear Frank and Elizabeth,your wife and mother has left an extreme impact on the the way I look at life.She and I have found after some years of butting heads that we had more in common than we thought. It pains me to know that so much of our differences we had were not caused by us but by other individuals with their own agendas.I am proud to say that we found mutual admiration for both of us personally and professionally.At this time I can say I would make her very proud for everything she has taught me. Rest in Peace Kat,Love Faith B. Score

Very sorry to read of Kathleen's passing. Memories stay with us for a long time of our loved ones. What has given me comfort is the fact that God is not responsible for the loss of life of anyone. At James 1:13 it says,' God is not tried by evil or nor does he try anyone.' And Jesus said he would resurrect our loved ones under his rule of God's Kingdom. Then the Earth will be a Paradise; no war, crime, sickness. We can again enjoy seeing our dear ones again. This has helped me to have hope and comfort. My prayers are for your family.
