You will be sorely missed, Kathy. Such a joy-filled servant of our Great King, you were, and now life has "really" begun in His presence.
You are in my prayers, Croce family. God bless you.

I "met" Kathy online at lowcarbfriends.com and will miss her daily. She was such a loving, supportive soul; she helped more people than you can imagine. Her love changed lives. I'm looking forward to meeting her for real. God Bless her family and all her friends. She was in my Cloud of Witnesses.

My heart and prayers goes out to my Uncle Johnny and my cousins and their families for the loss of their percious Mother. Knowing her love for Jesus, she's got to be smiling down on all of us. I can't wait to be with her, too, someday. May God be with all of you and comfort you during this time. "Blessed are those who morn, for they shall be comforted." John 14:18

When God decided to take you home, Kathy, he truly did pick a good one. We will miss your quick smile and seeing you walk your dog at the track at Emerson Hough. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jon and the entire family.

Papa Jon, Jon and Family. Prayers are with you during this time. Kathy was a great lady and I'm glad I got to know her. She was an amazing lady and am glad that she came into my sister's life along with Amber and Alyssa through Jon. She will be greatly missed. She treated Amber and Alyssa as if they were her own grandchildren and she thought the world of Cameron. God embraced her and she's now your angel. God bless you all.

Kathy the light of Jesus radiated through you!! Thank you for thinking of me when you drove me to Beth Moore conference, led a Bible Study, asked me to sit at your table for supper, showing me a great example to follow on being a Christian woman, and several of our conversations! I will see you one day in heaven.

Even though we never met in real life, we shared our lives almost everyday for nearly 10 years. Kathy was one of those rare people that made you want to aspire to better yourself. One of the things I learned from her was to be kinder and more patient with people. She touched my heart and my life and I will never forget her nor forget her wonderful sense of humor. Thanks for everything, Kathy. You will be greatly missed.

Although I only knew Kathy for approximately 4 years online thru a low-carb community, her personality, wit, kindness, love of family and community and her deep love of the Lord always shone thru. She was kind to everyone, and often offered a gentle word to those who were hurting. She made our community a better place and filled it with gentleness, love and humor. Her mark has been left on the hearts of hundreds of members who rejoice in her life and grieve over her passing. As a believer I look forward to one day meeting her in heaven. May her dear family find comfort in memories and in the knowledge that her legacy of love is still rippling out into far regions of the world. God Bless

Kathy, your quick smile and love of everyone will remain in my memories forever. I remember how we used to laugh when you worked at DHS and how hard you worked while you were there. I loved it when you would come and eat with us at Uncle Nancy's on the "oldies luncheon" days. You cashed in your ticket to Heaven sooner than we would have liked and you will be missed greatly.

Kathy was truly one of the most Christlike people I have ever known. Put together with her natural kindness, and her sense of humor and fun, she was a very special person to me, as she was to all of us who knew her through the low carb board and the Christian Gang. I am looking forward to the day when we get to meet in person and rejoice together. My prayers are with all of you, her family - may you find joy and solace in your special memories of her.
