I am so incredibly sorry to hear about Kate. I would have gone to the funeral but I didn't read about it in time. I will miss seeing her in church. God Bless her family. I pray the faith she helped instill in them will keep them strong and together. While you will miss her, know that she has just gone ahead to our true home in our Heavenly Father's Kingdom and you will see her again someday.
I remember going over to her parents home in Indian River to visit her on one of her journeys up north. Aidan was just a baby and she had the most darling pictures of him. She was just bursting with pride at the new addition to their family. We all are going to miss her greatly. Prayers for her husband, daughters, grands, mom and siblings and friends, she was really a treasure.
So saddened to hear of my dear friend’s life on earth has come to an end. Kathleen was my neighbor in Indian River Mi where we attend school together from 2nd grade until graduation in 1974. We have shared many good times together through the years. Her strong faith in God and love of her family meant the world to her. She had a good heart, made many sacrifices for her daughters and her actions spoke louder than words. I pray that her prayers are answered for her family especially her grandchildren, 3 adopted daughters that her and husband Mike loved dearly as their own. It gives me peace knowing she is in no more pain and suffering and is in Heavenly Peace. One of Kathleen’s last txt to me is that she wanted to tube the Sturgeon River with me this summer which didn’t work out this past summer and I deeply regret it. As I live on the Sturgeon River I will think of her often and vision her tubing by waving and splashing enjoying the good life she loved in Northern Michigan. We would be celebrating our 50th class reunion next year and she will be deeply missed. I have contacted our classmates about her passing and we are having a bronze plaque placed at Cross in the Woods National Shrine in her memory for family and friends to visit. I have to remember Kathleen it’s not Goodbye but see you later dear friend until we meet again! Much Love and Prayers to your Mom, Mike, siblings, Grandchildren and Daughters. Love, Kimberly LaPrairie Pearson
We send our deepest sympathy for the loss of Kathleen to Mike, Aidan, Chloe and the rest of the family. It is a life still young that God has called home and we thank God that her suffering from her horrible illness was not prolonged, though we understand it is hard to say good-bye to our loved ones. The love shared with her three adopted daughters in raising them, as well as raising her grandchildren, Chloe and Aidan, for the past 12 years shows the measure of her heart and desire to do what is best and noble for others.
We especially pray for Chloe and Aidan as the mother Kathleen was to them is suddenly gone and we ask God to watch over them as this transition in life without her will weigh heavy on their hearts. We also pray that while we continue to raise Levi here in Delaware, he will hold special the memories he shared with Kathleen when he was able to spend time with her during his visitations in North Carolina as we know those were special times shared those days. Sincerely, David and Nicole Desmarais
From her grandson Levi, he shares the following message for his grandmother, Kathleen:
I love my GG though I didn’t get to spend much memories with my GG. I was heartbroken when I found out that she died and I know it was hard for Chloe and Aidan, but especially Chloe. It was hard to not be sad when you realize a relative has died. I think everyone loved GG and I am happy that she is not in pain anymore and I think everyone else feels the same way. And, that’s all I have to say. Love, Levi XOXO
