Dear Glenn and the entire family, I will always have you in my thoughts and my heart! Kathy was truly a blessing and will be forever. I knew her since second grade. She was always there for me and me for her. I will never forget our trips our visits the multitude of things we did from childhood thru our adult years. Even when I left Lancaster, we always kept in touch, and saw or spoke to each other. Kathy will always be with all of us and she was always a happy, loving, strong person.
Love, Sharon Forte D’Aquino
Many thoughts & prayers for the whole family.
Please accept our deepest sympathy!

So sorry Audrey. You never really ever grow up until you lose your mom. The tears will gave way to smiles sooner than later and you will be able to remember her with warmth in your heart forever.
Glenn and Family,
I sincerely send thoughts and prayers to you and your extended family. Glenn, I remember you as a child in my Sunday School class. Kathy was a special person! You will miss her always but thank God for the life you shared!
Glen and family,
I was so sorry to hear of Kathy’s death. I so enjoyed knowing her and all of you while you attended Covenant. Kathy was quiet but funny and so kind. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Glen and daughters, Ken and I are so sorry for your loss of Kathy. She and I spent many lunchtimes together when we both worked for the Jay Group in Ronks, playing cards and shopping at the farm market. We will never forgot your hospitality, fun, and spirit of adventure on New Year Eve.. I left your house early one year, and went into labor with our son the next day. We will always remember you and Kathy so fondly. May God put his comforting arms around you so you feel his presence throughout the next weeks and months and years.
Love and hugs,
Deb and Ken Strubel

Sincere condolences to Glen and family! Peace of Jesus is with her! Missing her is the challenge.
She was a sweet person and loved her Family. Kathy had a beautiful smile and soft spoken. She is gone from the earth but never our hearts. Love and warm hugs to Glenn and her daughters.
Glenn & family: Sorry for your loss. Thank you for calling me last night. Though we haven’t seen each other in a long while it has been nice to catch up on the phone & plan on getting together. Here is a fond memory. When we played football in the park, back in the day, Kathy took many pictures. Many years ago I put a frame together with quite a few of them. I see them every day when i walk into the room where they hang on the wall. Keep Kathy in your heart & your mind & she will always be with you. And we will take that walk. Sincerely: Phillipp Muth
Glenn & Family, My deepest sympathy & prayers go out to you in your great loss. Kathy was always so kind & thoughtful. May God wrap his comforting arms around you and give you peace.
Love, Aunt Rosa
