Messages of Sympathy
I am so sorry for the loss of Kathy. She was one of the strongest women I have ever met. I worked with her through Fulton School Food Service for the last 8 years, She was the gate keeper! She was so proud of her job, her being and her surrounding at all times. Very proud of her family as her supporting team as well. She left a dent in this world and in many hearts. As well as mine. I will never forget her . I will keep her close in my heart always, Thank you for sharing her.

Kathi handled her illness with courage, grace and humor. She was a great contributor to our ongoing class of ''68 chat and will be missed. She was one of the good people.

Kathi was a long time Oneida High School friend - although our paths were different and took us to different places, you always remember the special friends you have acquired over the years - Kathi was truly one of those. She will be truly missed. My prayers and sympathy are with her family and dearest friends. Kathi - thank you for being you!

We partied together at hoilday time. She was very special to me we share a common bond I too have Cancer and she brought me to one of my treatment we were special. I will miss her laughter and her great smile. She was a true friend. Eric and Bec and Kim if there is anything I can do please let me know.

Eric and family and our cousins and their families, Michael and I were truly taken aback by the sad news of Kathi''s passing. Flashbacks of family gatherings and the fun times we had in Wampsville and Oneida have been running through my head since ....When I close my eyes I can see her smile and hear her laugh...Kathi was a treasure and will truly be missed. The entire family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

This is NOT how everone was wishing, hoping, and praying things would turn out. The closer you were to Kathi, the more that sympathies are with you ... so that means Eric, Rebecca, and Kimberly are at the very center of all our sympathies. And then thoughts go ohsoquickly to sisters and brothers, Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Nate ... and then even farther and wider ... linking so many in this shared sadness. How extra glad i am to have been priveleged to enjoy that festive and funny night this August past with the jovial Noto girls and some of their mates, including Kathi and Eric ... a "good night" for all. So thinking of Kathi and the multi layers of her family , with memories both recent and far past .... with empathy and sympathy and love always... cousin debbie roberts

To all of Kathi''s family, Kathi and I were childhood friends growing up in Wampsville so many years ago. And I have such fond memories of all the fun times we had at the playground, the skating rink, and the playhouse behind the garage. My deepest sympathy goes to all of you for losing such a wonderful member of your family. I know she will be missed by everyone who knew and loved her. Rest in peace my friend.

Eric and family, I want thank you for allowing me a few minutes to talk with Kathi last week. I will miss chatting on the website. We corresponded with little "chit-chat" about our lives (where we had been and going) over the last year or so. "I considered Kathi a friend who knew all about me and still liked me", Elbert Hubbard. I wish you and your family to remember the best things they have felt and never let them slip from your memories

Eric and family, and all Kathi''s brothers and sisters - Nate''s note yesterday sure took the wind out of my sails. Kathy and I offer our condolences and prayers for Kathi and all of you. We cousins are supposed to live for many decades yet; this is way too soon and she was way too good.
