Dear Ken and Family,
Our belated sympathy to you on the loss of Kathy. She was a brave lady, and we know she appreciated all your kind, loving care. St. Pius benefitted greatly from all of her volunteer work.

Ken, we were saddened to hear of Kathys passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
My father, Jan, and I were deeply saddened when my brother Dale called us with the news. Our condolences to the whole family. Kathy Plummer was a great comfort and support to my family when my mother and brother passed away. I regret that distance prevents us from attending in person but she and her family are in our thoughts and prayers.
We are so sorry we can't make it to MN for the services. Aunt Kathy will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with you Uncle Ken, Kenny, and Kevin.
Kathy O'Rourke Plummer became my best friend at OLM High School in 1956. We stood up for each others' weddings and remained close until her life's journey took her to other parts of the USA. But our love never ended and she will be deeply missed. Ken, Kenny, and Kevin, our wish for you is peace and always remember that her Irish eyes are always smiling down on you. With our love, John and Marilyn Janisse
How the years go by..... seems like just a few years ago Kathy came over at 3:00am so we could go to he hospital to deliver Gina. What a special and fantastic neighbor she was. We were so fortunate. Ken, Kenny and Kevin, our deepest sympathy. We are unable to attend her service but will be thinking of you. Sam and Mary Jane Grosso
MAY THE MEMORIES OF YOUR LOVE RETURN EACH DAY TO BRING YOU COMFORT.
YOUR COUSIN,
CORRINE PEARSON
From the time we were teenagers and always vacationed at Higgins Lake we accumulated a lot of special memories over the years. Those memories will live on and Kathy will be missed.
My sincere condolences to the family of Kathleen. May our loving God welcome her to the fullness of life that God has promised to God´s daughters and sons. May the hope that we have in Jesus Christ ease the pain of loss and accompany you through this grief.
Ken and family, our sincere condolences and prayers for Kathleen and your family. If there is something we can do, please let us know. We know it has been a long struggle with her health.
Linda and Brad Brech

Our condolences and prayers are with you. Betty will have eye surgery on Monday and we hope she'll be able to attend the memorial but if she can', I'll represent us both as we recall the many years of sharing a pew with you at the 8:45am Mass.
