Bethel UCC has always been a place of nurture, where music  plays a key roll in feeding my soul. Listening to this music while watching Kathy play drums brought the experience to another level. Kathy’s visible passion while playing drums brought joy to my heart and made my heart sing a way I will always cherish.

To Patricia and Kathy's Family..

My condolences to all. I had the pleasure of meeting  Kathy while in Oregon. 
She will be sadly missed and taken way too soon.
Rest in Peace Kathy.

My condolences to the family. I had the honor of working with Kathy for the last few years and thoroughly enjoyed our time together. She always brought a laugh to the table with me as we had similar senses of humor. She will be greatly missed.

Dear Kathy's family, hope you'll find peace and comfort from all great memories and good times you had with such a wonderful person Kathy was.

I had a few interactions with her over the past two years, since I never met her in person but those were meaningful due to her charisma and her friendly way of working. She will be missed so much here.

TE Connectivity, Costa Rica.

To Patricia & all of Kathys family. 
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of our beloved colleague, Kathy. It is with a heavy heart that I extend my deepest condolences to you all during this incredibly difficult time.

Kathy was more than a coworker; she was a beloved member of our IT team, and her presence brought warmth and positivity to our team and the office environment in Oregon.  Her enormous heart and unwavering commitment to assist everyone around her left an everlasting imprint on our team and the wider TE population. It is devastating to lose such an important member of our team. 

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers as you navigate through this challenging time. Kathy will be greatly missed, and her memory will live on in our hearts.

May you find strength in the beautiful memories you shared with her, rest in peace Kathy.

Sincere condolences on the loss of Kathy.  While I worked with Kathy in TE Connectivity, I never had the opportunity to meet her in person.  However, she always brightened up our team meetings with something positive to say or with her distinctive hearty laugh!  May she rest in peace.

Working with Kathy was a privilege. Being in a large global organization meant I only got to meet her in person once, but she made peoples lives better every day.
Kathy was full of energy and always helpful. She was very excited to re-join our IT team within the TE Medical business unit last December.
So very many things went unnoticed because Kathy just did it. Countless people across the organization benefited from her goodwill over the years and reached out since to express their shock and sadness over her loss (and to inquire about tasks no longer being attended to!) 
She was conscientious, hardworking and with a great sense of humor. She was a joy to work with.
Sadly, her journey ended too soon.
Rest in peace Kathy.

I worked with Kathy for a very short time, and in that short period I realized the wonderful person she was, her commitment to the work, and more importantly to the people, she always was glad to help us with all our requests.

I loved Kathy! She was a blessing to the whole Bethel  Church family as she shared her AV skills and musical talents with us!  She and I had an "instant connection!"  I think part of it was that we both had a "mischievous" side and we happy to share that with each other. I think we each had a 5 year old in us wanting to come out. She will be missed by many of us but will always have a place in my heart.

Kathy was full of life and fun.  We didn’t get to enjoy her nearly long enough.   But we will certainly think of her with smiles.   And for me that will certainly be every time the Bethel worship band plays, no matter who is playing.  I don’t think it would have happened without Kathy’s enthusiasm.  Thank you,  Kathy for being part of Bethel UCC.  And hugs and condolences to Trisha and Kathy’s other  friends and family.

Kathy was such a great part of Bethel's Grace Notes band.  She even purchased and donated the electronic drum set. She is so very missed.

I had the opportunity to visit Kathy on September 3rd.  We had such a great talk about stuff heavy and light.  She mentioned that she hated saying goodbye.  At church that morning we had sang the hymn "God be with you til we meet again" and I suggested that Kathy use that instead of "goodbye." We hugged and said our "be seeing you".  I am sad to say that day was the last time I saw her in this life.  Hope she's there waiting for me in the next.  I already told her I was expecting it!

Much love to you, Trish, and to all the family as you learn to live a life that is that much dimmer due to her absence.
