So sorry I wasn't able to attend the service today but you were definitely on my mind. As you may know Mary passed away in December so can still feel your family's pain. I remember Kathy as a caring person who also happened to be very much fun. Who knows? Maybe she and Mary are talking Sentry and new dance steps!! Jerry

Jim- My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. I have fond memories of both you and Kathy helping me out with dancing during our dancing with the Go West Country dancers. At that point of time your help really changed my life. Kathy would do a good job of helping me out with some challenging dances. Also with you being my barber for almost 50 years made you a good friend of mine. May she rest in peace Jim. We’ll all be back on the dance floor together again!

So many memories of all the bridge we played over the years and for Kathy reaching out to reconnect over the last few years. She is now in heaven with my Pat. God's blessings to the family.
Michael & Karen Heinrich left a message on May 22, 2026:
Karen & I have many fond memories of Kathy since 1995. I worked with Jim in the barber shop. Kathy treated us like family. We have never seen so much love, kindness, and patience in her love of family as a wife, mother, and grandmother in our lifetime. We witnessed Kathy and Jim demonstrate tremendous country music dancing skills. We will miss her immensely. We pray that Jim is given the peace that passes all human understanding. Love, Michael & Karen Heinrich
