Dear Loved Ones of Kathy, we were shocked and saddened to hear of her passing today! Mom will miss her; When Mom entered the nursing home, I told Kathy, while I was sorry she had to be in a nursing home, I felt she was there as part of GOD’S PLAN, to be an encouragement to Mom. Your Mom was a sweet lady. I passed this sad news on to my Sister-in-law, and she too was very saddened to hear of Kathy’s passing. May THE LORD confort all of you. Much Love, until we see Kathy in HEAVEN. Mary and Ben Lapp, and Mom aka Cupcake, Frances. Thank you for the mementoes. It was very kind of you!!
