16 years ago, when Dirk moved in a single mom and her 6 kids next door, no one was more welcoming that Mikey & Kathy. To have neighbors such as Kathy & Mikey has been one of my life’s biggest blessings. I’ll missing waving and shouting ‘ Hi Kathy’ across the yards whenever I come home to visit or just popping in for a quick hug. She will be truly missed. My heart is with you all.
Mike and to your family-
I am so sorry to hear about Kathy.
What a special woman, wife, mother, and friend.
Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
May the peace of Christ be yours always.
Love you my friend.
