My darling Leah, I'm sending this to you on 4/16/2014. I never signed this book because we were all so distraught after Katy's passing. I have read every message in this book and the message that continues to come through is Katy's infectious laughter and love of life, but particularly her love of you and the our grandchildren. We will remember how she had fun, laughed, loved you all and was so proud of you and loved all animals, was kind to others and wanted all of us to be happy. We won't let her down, we will be happy and remember her in our fondest memories and keep her alive in our hearts forever! She is reminding me to write that she's not really gone and will always be around, just watch for signs! Xoxoxo Elizabeth/Mom/Bunny

Leah, I had so much fun working with your mom. She was always making everyone laugh. She had a good time wherever she went. Kay will truly be missed by all. I saw her a while back and she could not stop talking about her family. She loved you all so much. God Bless.

Leah, Words cannot express how deeply sorry we are for your loss. Your mother looks like she was such a vibrant and beautiful woman. Her smile could light up the world. I wish there was something we could do or say to help ease your pain. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Meredith and Jack

- Meredith and Jack Steenhausen, Simpsonville, SC

Cathy was a great friend 'back in the day' in Michigan. I remember her as always being upbeat and enthusiastic -- I can't picture her without seeing a smile on her face. It's sad to see someone who clearly loved life leave this planet much too early. My condolences to her daughter and grandchildren, her sister Karen and her nephew Michael.

Leah & family, Katy had all the special characteristics attributed to her by family, friends, & co-workers. I was privileged to know her professionally & my patients always received excellent nursing care under her watch. May God bless her & keep her in His arms. May His love & the memories of Katy bring you peace. Telling her story often will be difficult at first, but it will eventually help to numb the pain. If I can be of help, please call.

- Lawrence E. Ruf, M.D., Savannah, GA

There is a vacant area in my heart knowing that Katy is gone and realizing that there will be no future evenings of laughter with her.

Leah,my heart go out to your family. Love always, Kellie Janes
