Guestbook

  1. Mom will be missed and always thought of especially around the holidays. May she be forever in the presence of the Lord.

  2. Praying for all the family and friends that knew and loved Kathy. To us, Paulette, a few other friends and myself, we called her Kathy Red. We have all been friends since high school. From the song, “Scars in Heaven” by Casting Crowns, the only scars in Heaven now are on the One who holds you now. You are completely healed. Rest in peace. Love you.

  3. It was about this time of the year when we first met…59 years ago..doesn’t seem that long ago, just yesterday. I remember coming to Harlingen and meeting your family..Your Mom was the best and your Dad was a good loving Father. My number two son has his name … But we saved some of the best for last. So many writings of FB and Messages and the promise we made for each other, when we’ll meet again. Love you dearly and looking forward to seeing you once again … Glad you’re Home, now…I’ll be up in a little bit….
