  1. A day doesn’t go by that I think of Kathy and our times together. I loved her and will miss her forever. She was a wonderful and devoted friend.

  2. Dear Doyle and Family,

    I am a schoolmate of Kathy. I met her when we entered Keating Jr. High in 7th grade. Kathy, Linda, Carol, Sharon and I were all close friends through high school. While I was in college at CSU, Fort Collins she and Linda visited for “College Days” and had a great time. There were a few other times that we visited and partied together in Pueblo and Boulder. I believe I met you at the 40th class reunion. I have not seen Kathy since that event, which makes me very sad. I have only visited Pueblo a few times over the last 24 years- but we still have my mom’s house on Fordham Cr. My mom passed away on May 14 this year.

    I have vivid memories of Kathy and fond recollection of the fun things we did in our youth, sleep overs at her house, being cheerleaders together, being initiated into the high school sororities and just getting through high school. Linda Duhon has often brought me up to date when she would see Kathy. It made me very happy to hear about her successes as a teacher, her joy as a mother and also being happily married. It is painful that she passed at such a young age- a time when one looks forward to the joys and rewards of retirement. May your broken hearts be healed over time and know that Kathy was appreciated by many and blessed with a wonderful life.

    Warm regards,
    Arlene

  4. Dear Doyle,Darren and family: I was shocked to learn of Kathy’s death when Paulette called this morning. She was a lovely lady. You have lots of friends to lean on and be sure to use us at any time. I’ll be in touch soon to see how you’re doing. God bless! Roy Miltner
