Jerry,
My deepest condolences and sympathies to you and your family. Kathy was a special woman. She will be missed by many but never forgotten. Keeping you in my thoughts and Prayers,
My sincere sympathy in the loss of Kathy. You do not know me but I worked with Kathy back in the late 1980’s at the Sheriff’s Dept.
Jerry, so sorry to hear about Kathy. I will always remember the fun times we had on and off duty at the Sheriff’s Department, she was a great friend to me during those times. I was so happy to have seen her the last time I was in Pueblo. She was a fighter, that girl. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Wow, I just couldn’t believe when I saw Kathy’s obit in the paper. She was so sweet and kind I will always remember her smile when I worked with her in Pueblo, never a frown on her face, I will miss her!
Kathy was so special and such a wonderful and caring person. It was our honor to help take care of her. Our most sincere sympathy to Jerry and all of her family.
Most sincerely,
Chris and Joyce Smith and all of us at Family Medical Center.
