I would like to thank all of you for your prayers and encouragement that you gave Kathy and me with her battle against this terrible disease. Kathy was a real fighter for the past 10 months she battled each and everyday...poked, stuck, scanned and every other medical treatment you can imagine and each day ending with a positive attitude and the love of life. But in the end she lost her battle. I loved this lady so much and I will miss her dearly and when she left she took a large part of me with her but I will always remember her as a great lady and a model for all of us to follow. She loved everyone she met and never past judgement on them and called everyone her friend. Her bright smile always greeted you and made you feel special. She had that loving touch that I am sure all of you experienced. Our family will miss her greatly but not as much as I will. She was my partner in life, mother of my children and I will love her forever. I hope all of you will say a prayer for her and remember her as the great lady she was.
Thanks again,
Rick

ReplyDeleteDear Rick,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post and my prayers for you and the family will continue in the days, weeks and months ahead. I know how very much you loved her and I pray that God will give you peace knowing what a comfort it was to Kathy to know that you will be reunited in heaven. You gave her the best thing you could ever give her "blessed assurance" I pray that your faith will not only carry you through but that it will continue to increase as time goes by.
God bless you Rick, I love you
I will see you soon

Think of you all daily. I just booked my flight for the service and look forward to seeing you and giving you a big hug in person! XXOO, Emily
ReplyDeleteI had truly planned on going to Auntie kathys memorial. My daughter Courtney is getting married on that day, if not for that I would attend. My thoughts are with you always Uncle Ricky, Tony and Mandy. I have not kept in contact with you, but the times I did spend with you guys will always be special to me.

Rick - and family...
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry to hear of Kathy's passing.
She was one of the nicest people I have ever met. Diane and I were very lucky to have been able to spend some time with you two, especially the time in Hawaii, we will always remember those days.
Our prayers are with you...
