Kathy Lynn, I'm still at a loss of words. It's surreal. We've been through it all from parties to emergency surgeries. We decided to have you be Karolinas God mother because though we weren't perfect I knew you had knowledge and wisdom to teach her as u did me. You are an amazingly strong women. You loved your kids so much so I had no doubt you would love Karolina. Thank you for being my daddy's only friend. He loved you unconditionally. I hope you are finally pain free emotionally and physically beautiful. I hope you know how dear you are to me and my family. We love all of you especially me! Lol I just wished I could've told you this and more before you went to heaven. I love you Kathy Lynn. YOURE LOVED, MISSED & FOREVER in our hearts ! Till we met again. I love you !

My sympathy goes out at this loss to a family that was part of a neighborhood family that always saw the best in each other. May Kathy's memory carry on through everybody's life she touched.

Doc, I am sorry for your loss, you always loved your kids. I remember one time I stopped over to your house and you were looking for something, Kathy and Richard had eaten all the white stuffing out of the double-stuffed OREO's and put the cracker part back in the package and put it under the dining room table, you laughed your ass off when you found it. Kathy was always special to you. God bless you, you and your family are in our prayers. Love, Ric and Robin Thomson.

Thank you for the Good Times, the Bad Times, also for Tyler and Brittney. Do not worry, we have taken over where you left off with the Care of Daddy. I would not be the Man I am today if your Momma had not introduced us at the Idle Hour Bar. I would not have the Memories and CRAZY ASS Stories of our Wild Life Adventures to tell our Children and Grandchildren. You were a Fighter to your Death, and you never allowed a Man to hit a Women, without trying to Help, because you too have been in that same situation and noone stepped up to help you. Do not worry, your Death will be Avenged. The other Men who have put their Hands on you will finally receive that Ass Beating they have had coming to them for years...You will always have a place in my Heart and Soul, and for that I am Thankful. RIP, Kathy. Save me a Beer, a "Gator Tail", a Big Fatty and a Marlboro Light in Heaven!
