Our deepest sympathy Ralph and Kaths entire wonderful family. Ralph and Kath our dear neighbors for so many years. Katharine, my special friend with so many fun memories, like the time Ralph and Mike came home to find us standing on the kitchen table as we had a visiting racoon that came in through the dog door. RIP dear Kath.
Katherine and Ralph have been great neighbors for 20yrs. Her upbeat nature was a joy. Her love for her family and bright smile was contagious. We’ll miss her. Love, Frank and Kitty
Erin and family,
Our deepest sympathy from all the guys at HBS Buffalo. We are thinking of you and
your family and praying as you get through this time of sorrow.
Erin and family – I’m so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. She was a beautiful and wonderful person. I have many memories of her. Thinking of all of you.
Words may not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow that I feel for the passing of your mother. Through my friendship with Juliet, my heart has been on this journey with you as your mother tried to push through her earthly challenges. But I know her family was there always to care for her and provide loving support as well as for Ralph. She is with the Father now and will forever be your guardian angels as she looks down from the Heavens on her loved ones.
Please accept my deepest condolences.
Sorry to hear of her passing. Condolences to the entire family in this time of grief.
My sincere condolences on Katherine’s passing. I have so many wonderful memories of her and my mother laughing and having fun together, partying and getting dressed up to go out. Katherine was always larger than life and full of energy and turned any gathering into a great time. She, Lauren, Julie, and Peter were a big part of my teenage years and I look back on those times fondly. The world is a sadder place without her.
So very sorry for your family’s loss. Thinking of all of you during this time.
We are so sorry to hear of Katharine’s passing. Our prayers go out to all of her family that God helps you get through this sad time. May you share special memories with each other and they bring laughter and smiles to you all.
