I am sorry for your loss your mom was amazing mom and a great friend to me may she sing with the angels and ride free on that heavenly harley l will miss you until we meet again ❤️ ♥️ ��
I'm going to miss my sweet sister Kathy deeply. Her passing has left a hole in my heart that nothing can fill. I will especially miss our daily phone calls, where we shared laughter, stories, and the simple comfort of each other's voices. Kathy's kindness, love, and warmth were a constant source of joy in my life, and her absence is profoundly felt. I will cherish the memories we made and hold her close in my heart forever. I love you so much kathy fly high with the Angels. Your loving sister, Diana. ❤️��������
Kathy. I will always hold you close to my heart. We had so many memories of years ago up until your passing. You was such an amazing lady and helped so many others with words of wisdom. You was a survivor of all trades. And always had a plan B if plan A fell through. You was so amazing. You taught me many ways to solve problems on a higher note. And to keep peace...when all else fails. Your smile would always open up a room full of people. I will miss you horribly Kathy. It's so hard to wrap this around my head. You text me just two days before the hospital visit. My prayers are with your family always. And thankyou for all the joy you put in my life and all you did for me and my kids. You was a mom to them when I wasn't near. And they loved you as much as we all do. RiP. .tell Mark he is missed as well. Until we all meet again. Take care on your new journey . And ride that Harley like you own it girl.
Your the absolute most amazing mother and woman I've ever met. I'm so glad you finally made it to heaven ma. I know your so happy now. Rest with your Rickie and all the rest of our other angels in heaven we have lost. I will never be the same without you here. But we all feel you all around us mom. Your love we feel is so much stronger because it's everywhere and can be felt all the way to our souls. Thank you for being my mommy and the time we had you here with us changed us forever. Oh mama I know your such a beautiful angel with your own wings now. We're all together mama now again as a family because of you. You made sure to give us one last gift on your way home. You gave love to us until your last breathe. We're whole again even with you in heaven because we know your with us every single time were together now. I love you mama. Tell everyone that all of us down here love them too.
In Loving Memory
