    So sorry we could not attend Kathy’s funeral and visitation. We were out of town. We always enjoyed talking with Kathy every time we would see her. She was always smiling even though we knew she did not feel good. Our prayers and thoughts are with the family. We loved Kathy so much and will miss seeing her. Lots of good memories from the Fisher Family.

    We were so saddened for the families to know of Kathy’s Heavenly Journey. She has no more pain and frustrations. However all of us left are missing her so much.
    Mac and I always looked forward to sharing wonderful quality time when we were able to visit Illinois. Kathy was a very special cousin who enjoyed several same passions of life.
    Our thoughts and prayers and love are with all the families.
