I will always remember Kathy from Franklin and from our youth group at Mt Baker Park Presbyterian. Prayers for the family; what a wonderful gal I knew!
We feel so lucky and privileged to have Wood and you, Vic, as our good friends for over 45 years. Wood’s caring, dry sense of humor, and sense of adventure led to so many fun and memorable times for the 4 of us. We know being a wife, mother, and grandmother brought Kathy so much happiness. She loved her family so very much. Wood will be always missed and never forgotten by us. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Our love and sincere sympathy,
Bob and MG
My thoughts and prayers to Vic and family. I have many fond memories of Kathy and the rest of the clan I grew up with in the great Mt. Baker neighborhood. It was a special group and Kathy was a solid and special part of that pie! Peace…..
