To the loved ones and family of Kathleen: So sorry to hear of Kathleen's passing. Ive known Kathleen for about 40 years...back when she was with Michael. She has always been one of my favorite Floyd people. Last summer she was extremely kind and generous to Rio's elderly father when he came from NY for Rio's memorial and stayed in the cottage. The Pine and Floyd will just not be the same without her. Comfort to you all and blessings to our smilin' Kathleen. Sincerely, Paula Bason

Joan, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I know she had fought a hard battle, and I'm sure she was tired and wanting to go home. I pray for you that you will find God's peace and comfort during these days. May you feel his loving arms around you, and may you hear his voice as he says "Be still, and know that I am God." If you need anything, I'm just a phone call away. God bless.

Mrs Rakes (ingham) was my favorite in High School. She always was kind to me.

I am so sorry to learn of Kathleen's passing. I have many wonderful memories of her as our cheerleading sponsor in high school. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Family of Kathleen's, please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of Kathleen. She was a wonderful lady and one of the first friends we met coming to the USA in 1983. Our prayers and thoughts are with her family. Kind regards Clemens & Barbara

Joan, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of sister. Please call me if there is anything I can do to help you thru this difficult time.

Mark, Stephanie, Joan-- I am so sorry to hear that Kathleen passed. She was such a good friend of mine when she taught at FCHS. I was away on vacation with family at the time (w/o computer)and found out by e-mail from Cat Pauley when I returned. I hate that I could not come to her service. A year ago, Kathleen put me and my five sisters up for a weekend in the cottage, and we had such a good time catching up. I will miss running into her around Floyd.

Oh dear Kathleen, you were such an angel to our family. We will always treasure your friendship and remember the kindness and love with which you welcomed us into the Cabbage (cabin) for our home away from home birth of Gabriel. Each prenatal visit we stayed and then for the 6 weeks of his birth time. It is hard to believe that was 16 years ago. Over the years, you became part of the family as we travelled back to Floyd for birthday parties, visits and the occasional sharing of Christmas. Thank you my dear friend, thank you! To Kathleen's family, we are so sorry for your loss of a sister, mother and friend. Kathleen was indeed very special, and our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. blessings, the Mapel family- Mary, Daniel and Gabriel

We were in Floyd this past weekend and were staying with friends instead of where we usually stay - with Kathleen at the Pine Tavern. We stopped by and were so sad to hear our friend had passed away. We have been coming there for about 20 years and always looked forward to seeing Kathleen. We were there in January and enjoyed our visit. We will miss her. The Foglemans
