Condolences
The family of Kathleen “Kathy” Frances Flynn has received the following condolences.
Hicks, Robin, Toni and families,
As you know, your mom was like a 2nd mom to me. My mom knew that if I wasn't home, I was up at your house. I am sure the two of them are catching up in heaven right now. I can tell you from experience, I know your sadness and will pray for strength for all of you, that you grieve, try to make peace, remember the memories and keep her amazing smile and zest for life in the forefront. She was a remarkably strong woman and she has passed that trait onto you. Hold fast to it and give thanks for her life. She will live on and will guard you and your families from on high!
My prayers and sympathies are with you. I will see you in Rochester for hugs. Love to all,
Eddy
Dear Debbie, Robin, and Toni,
I am so sorry and saddened to hear of the loss of your Mother. In all of my memories, Aunt Kathy has a smile, sometimes a mischievous one. She was a beautiful woman, inside and out. Your void is deeply felt as this week it has been 28 years since my father (her brother-in-law) passed away. She will have a new body is Heaven and can see some of her family. No one can take away your memories and experiences. I am praying for peace for you and your kids during this difficult time.
With Deepest Sympathy, Susan Otto
Dear Debbie, Robin, and Toni,
I am saddened to hear that your Mom passed away. Although I haven't seen her for many years, she was a wonderful family friend. You all are in my prayers at this difficult time.
Sincerely, Virginia
Toni,
I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you in my thoughts this week. I am sorry also that I will not be able to make it down to Rochester for the service, but will hold down the fort back at GH and make sure all of the "kiddos" don't go wild in your absence! Just kidding of course; take care of yourself and family. I'm sure you'll have some great memories to share when you come back. I know it is your sense of humor that helps you through tough times like this. I didn't know your mom, but sounds like you got that from her! I love hearing all about her and exchanging "mom" stories. Beautiful picture you guys posted of her. Keep all those special memories close!
Lots of Love,
Sheila
Kathy was a special "sister" of mine. What a blessing to have known her all these years. My prayers are with her family and friends. She is free now and with the love of her life, Leroy
Robin, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
