Mixed with the sorrow of aunt Kathy’s passing are the fond memories over the years. With tears in my eyes and a warm smile I recall the many blessings that Aunt Kathy brought to my life. Irish soda bread, turkey dinners, Halloween fun, an intensity and passion for life, smiles and laughter, her penchant for projects like ceramics and the family tree all remain a part of me. Of course the greatest blessings are the great kids that she brought into the world who are my cousins. Like beautiful pieces in the mosaic that is my life there are many aunt Kathy highlights to recall and treasure. Thank you for your love over the years, Aunt Kathy and blessings to you Uncle Ed. May God bless you and keep you in His everlasting love that endures forever.

Suthira and I send our love from Thailand and remember you all in our prayers.

Mary and I are so sorry to hear of Kathy's passing. I will be attending a conference out of town for the balance of the week or I would surely be at the wake and funeral. Kathy was a special person - I have so many great memories. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Mike "Buff" Burke
