"To John and Kathy\'s family, I am so sorry for your loss. I learned of her passing in the Standard Times this afternoon. As soon as I read her obituary, I thought of Alice and Manny Silvia and how there must have been a great reunion with the three of them. May the Lord continue to bring comfort to you all. Kathy has just gone ahead of us all as we will some day be passing this life into the other. Remember all the wonderful times you had together as a family. I will always remember the luncheons we had as a group with Alice and Manny once a month. Call out to the Lord whenever you need His comfort. You will find His ear is not deaf to hear your hearts cry. Donna McKane"
