    Kathy and Bob have been a huge part of my life and the life of my children over the last many years. There has not been a family get together that they were not a part of in 25 years or more. She was a dear lady who was always happy and smiling. I always enjoyed her conversations and the way that she showed her love for everyone. She will be so missed but I know she is back with the love of her life. She couldn’t stay away from him for very long. Kathy and Bob were together for 65 years and she could not stand being without him. She will be missed and fondly remembered by so many people. She had a positive impact on everyone she met. So sorry for your loss Lisa and Linda Danny and Robert Justin Jordy Katelyn and Kelsey. I know the new baby coming in the spring will help to cheer you up and know that kathy will be right there when that new baby is born
