    I miss you already. You were always my other mommy. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that my mom and your mom are with you and knowing that you are no longer in pain. I love you MORE 😍

    My beautiful sweet cousin, you were one of a kind on this earth, and I know you are one of the most beautiful angels in heaven. Everyone that knew you now feels a void, because you lived life loud you brought happiness and joy in with you everywhere you went. Words can’t Express how much I love you and miss you. Please when you see Jesus give him a hug and kiss for me . Until we meet again rest in the arms of Jesus.

    I love you momma K ❤️ I will miss you and our text messages back and forth. You were such a special soul, thank you for all you done to help get me where I am today. I know you are in a better place, but the world is definitely not going to be the same without you. Hardees will not be the same, we lost one of our family when you went to heaven. I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around

    KC was in my life for 31 yrs. We were coworkers, best friends, she was the like other mother as my children called her.. she was like a sister. If you knew her then you were blessed as I was. She will be missed but will always remain in our hearts.

    Kathy was always soft spoken and wanted to make you comfortable. Over the past year or so we talked on Facebook and shared our church videos back and forth and would sent her funny things and Beautiful music of worship. I will certainly miss my worship buddy .I’m sure where she is and that’s the best part !!
