I knew Ruthie only briefly when Sr. Linda started a faith sharing group. I know she was a faith filled person. I have been praying for her since I heard of her tragic accident. Now my prayers are also for all of you. I know she will live on in your hearts and memories.

So sorry to hear about your mom. She was a wonderful woman and she always made me feel at home when I use to stay over night when we were kids! She always had a smile on her face and always so friendly when you would run into her! Sending thoughts and prayers to your family.

Sending all of you a note of sympathy, so sorry for the loss of your Special Mom. As she was a wonderful, caring lady. Not just a neighbor there if you would ever need anything, she was always so good all of us. Would always have a hug for you when you would see her . Keep the memories close to your heart. A hug for all of you.
Love, Teresa Koenig

Dear Berendes Family,
My deepest sympathies to all of you.
A poem that we found in my mother's things. I believe she read it often when she would think of Kathi.
I pray it may bring you some comfort.
We follow a pathway that has no end as we travel through life day by day. Together with those who are dear to our hearts, and there by our side come what may. But sometimes a loved one must travel ahead for reasons that aren't always clear and we're left behind to continue along, missing the one who is no longer here. And while it may seem that the pathway has stopped it merely has rounded a bend. And our loved one goes on to a much brighter place, down the pathway that has no end.
Sending you my love.
