I will miss your shy, yet beautiful and loving smile. Birth order made you “my little sister,” and little you were. Why you had the nickname, Pudgy, as a child, I will never know. I am heartbroken that I will never see you again until we meet in heaven. Enjoy celebrating August 13th with Ed, since you share the same birthdate. You were a ray of sunshine in my life.

Dear Russell, Lisa, and Craig, Thinking of you all and I'm so sorry for your loss. I will forever cherish every memory I have of my sweet 'Aunt Kathy'. She was always first to want to catch up with me at family gatherings and went out of her way to make me feel special and included. I'm so thankful I got to spend time with her this past Christmas Eve and will never forget how tightly we held hands while we looked at old pictures together. All my love, Gina
