Guestbook

  1. Susan and I will forever miss Kathy! She always had and will always have a special place in my/our hearts. The community will never be the same without her! Nor will we!

    We are devastated.

  2. We have enjoyed spending time with Kathy over the years while visiting with Mike , Deb and their children. A truly beautiful person inside and out. Laura and I will truly miss our time visiting with Kathy. May her memory be a blessing.

  3. I’m shocked and saddened to hear this news. I was fortunate to get to know Kathy through my Mom and their Monday card group. Kathy was full of life; so lovely, engaging and always with a smile and kind word. She will be missed.

  7. candleOne’s life can be measured by their strength of character, kindness, and love of life.
    What a legacy Kathy left behind, for all who had the honor and privilege to have her be a part of their lives, as they will smile and say “ I am so blessed to have known you” .
    I will miss you terribly..

  8. Mondays will not be the same without Kathy. Playing canasta and rummikub–along with plenty of girl talk and of course, the jelly doughnuts–will never be the same. She was a good friend, always a great sport, and a great conversationalist. Most of all, she was proud of her family.

    We miss you.

    Gaye, Jeanne and Cathy

  9. Growing up next door to the Bartone Family was the best. Many happy and fun days on Jean Place.
