My heart breaks to hear of the loss of Kathy. She was truly a beautiful lady. My thoughts, prayers and sincere condolences are with Becky & the family. ðŸ™ðŸ¼ðŸ’—ðŸ™ðŸ¼
Richard I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Lifting all of you up in prayer!
I have a special place for her in my heart❤ one special memory of her I have is..... spending every Saturday morning with her either getting up early, after spending the night and chatting (while Becky slept in)!
Or calling on the phone to talk to Becky (of which I knew she was still asleep) 😊 She would always let me know Becky would have to do her chores before she could do anything else.
I enjoyed my time with her and the family, vacations were an awesome time, having her as my away Mom was the BEST...
P.S. Say "HI"to my Dad MS. Meyer.... XOXO
God bless you and your family. In my prayers. Here, should you need anything. Love you both.
I am heartbroken to see Kathy has gone to be with the Lord before I could see her one more time. I am very happy that she has made her journey on though. I loved Kathy so much. She was one of the most special people to ever come into my life. We worked at 1st National Bank together so many years ago. She took me home with her and she gave me the opportunity to ride a horse!! We had so much fun that day! I've never forgotten it. She did indeed love her husband so much. That made a mark on me. And as a mother she was incredible. Richard and Kathy you are so blessed to have this wonderful woman as your mother. I will never forget you Kathy and I'll run to see you in heaven some day. All my love to her family.
Dear All,
So sorry to hear of your loss. She touched our lives in so many ways. We hope your memories will comfort you. Thinking of you. Sending thoughts and prayers.
