See Condolences

Kathryn was an amazing, giving woman who will be sorely missed by all of us who knew her.

Kathy - early remembrances of you go back to Beltsville Baptist, and especially to you and your girls playing softball on the church softball team together with my wife Linda. From there - I was extremely blessed when you decided to support the mission church I started called "Northwinds". Your wisdom (but most of all your prayer life) was SO helpful in my ministry there for 9 years ... I could not have imagined us having the success that we did experience in those years without your involvement. We were truly a "family" together under Christ,I'm jealous that you got to see Jesus before me ... but say HI to John and Linda for me. I will be along shortly to join you all!

I love you momma! I miss you so much - you and me against the world. So glad you are in heaven with dad, Nana, Pop and so many others. May they greet you with open arms and that you can kiss the face of Jesus finally. See you there!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
