“Kathy was a brilliant, funny and extremely kind woman”. “Kathy was simply the most wonderful person – the most caring, always full of warmth and with the most captivating smile”. “She was one of those people who left the world a better place”. “So lively and interesting”. “She enriched so many people’s lives”. “A very special lady who lit up the room”. “Full of energy, laughter love of colour and optimism”. “She was so good at welcoming me into the Regimental fold”. “Knack for spreading happiness and forging friendships”. “Willing, generous spirit to help others. An imaginative and creative lady.” “Meetings with Kathy brightened my day; she always had time for a chat and was so vibrant, energetic and enthusiastic. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s two years ago and she always asked me how I was doing: listening, remembering and demonstrating genuine care and concern." “Her quirkiness, her lovely smile, her genuine interest in other people, and her ability to make something out of nothing” “She wore her wonderful artistic talent so lightly and it is one of the many things she has so generously left us to enjoy."

We hope that you find this tribute to Kathy a place of comfort, support and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
