Kathy will be dearly missed. Gone too soon. RIP Kathy.
Though miles separate us our thought are with all of you. So many memories of the time you lived in Uxbridge. Kathy always had a smile for anyone she met. She will be in prayers and thoughts as we reminisce and remember.
So sorry to the family of Kathy. I worked with Kathy at the Cambridge Centre Zehrs. I will mus her laugh and her big smile she had for everyone she worked with.
It breaks my heart that Kathy had to fight so many battles. I’ve know Kathy since she was a teenager and was there when she met Gary. She didn’t deserve to have her life cut so short. She was a strong, brave person and that will be paid forward through her beautiful family. Memories are forever, treasure them. 💔
