I'm so sorry, Kris. I know what it's like to lose one of those friends, having just had Brett pass not too long ago. I'm glad I was able to send Kathy a card--hopefully it brightened her day a bit. I recall telling her that you were "both" so lucky to have found one another--that longtime friendship is so hard to come by these days. Remember her always, like I know you will. Remember her whole and healthy, and happy, like she is now. Thinking of Kathy's family, and thinking of you.

Jonni, those cards everyone sent her really did brighten her days alot. Thank you so much. She kept them all beside the couch where she was most of the time so she could see them. I know it probably never gets any easier. She was just the best friend. And she was so many other's best friend too. There were 3 of us. The other 2 knew her way longer than me. And she helped raise their kids too. Their kids all called her their 2nd mom like mine did. She was just a friend to so many. The preacher was really amazed at not only her family that was there in the hospital, but how many of her friends were there too. When they moved her up to a private room, you should have seen the looks we got. It was like a parade following her. There had to of been 30 people behind her. She was loved by so many. There will never be another friend like her.

This is a sad, overwhelming time. Allow yourself time to greive and miss Kathy. She knew and felt your love through the end. She is still with you in the love and memories and children you shared. Someday the tears will stop..but not today. Give yourself permission to do what you need to do for your own healing. Know that we are all here for you. Sending you love and memories of the good days, and gentle hugs, Joey

I so appreciate all your payers for me and her family. I have felt them for sure. Sometimes I just want to scream. I talked to Kathy's youngest daughter yesterday for a long time. We are going to have a birthday-Memorial day cookout Sunday here. I hope they all can come. We used to do that every year with thier family. We did so much together. But this will be nice to get them all over here for a cook out.

I have been looking for some pictures of Kathy. She's like me though and was always the one taking the pictures, not in them. I found some. I know I have more, just can't find them.
Thank you for the hug, Annette. And the prayers too. They mean so much to me.

Hoping that you and Kathys family had a good cookout on Sunday. What a difficult, comforting time that you can all be together now. Still thinking of you all and sending prayers. Healing hugs, Joey

I was just going to post and ask you how the cookout went when Joann's post popped up! Great minds! So how did it go? Do you have an emotional hang over today? Even if all was love and hugs the tension of missing Kathy would be enough to give me a hangover. I hope you are well and happy today. If you are not we are here for you. If you are we are here too!
Hugs on you,
Connie

Thanks for thinking of me. It was really nice. Kenneth, her husband, is having a rough time of course. He just didn't realize it would happen so fast. Although she tried to tell him. He's not one to talk much so it was hard for her to talk to him about this. But the kids are keeping him pretty busy. He goes back to work this week. That will help also.
