To the most giving, caring, generous, compassionate, loving person. We will miss you terribly.
Annalise, Christina, and Joey, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was the most caring, compassionate, funny, charismatic, loving, and impossibly generous person ever! She had a larger-than-life personality but somehow had the gift of making everyone she talked to feel like they were the most important person in the world. She was *always* good to me and I could not have asked for a better aunt. She will be sorely missed. Much love <3
Kathy, my dear friend and neighbor. You will be missed dearly. Your love of family and animals will live on! Carolyn B

Dear Gardino family, I am so sorry for your Great Loss of Kathy. She was a kind hearted soul who would do anything for an animal in need! She was a wonderful kind neighbor, whom we considered family, after living for over 35 yrs in our cul-de-sac of 4 homes. Rest in Eternal Peace, and God please watch over her family now and forever. 🐾🐾
Dear Joe and family, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss my prayers are with you all.
My condolences to the entire family. Bob Holloway
Joe, Annalise, Christina, and Joey,
So sorry for your loss. I will always remember her gracious and kind nature. I always looked forward to seeing her at family gatherings or down in Florida when I was visiting. She made me feel very welcome. Take care of yourselves.
