You once referred to me as your dear loyal friend. I can’t think of a better way to describe you, Kathy. You may have been a “l’ll Greek” but in every way you were bigger than life and all of us the better to have been part of your extended family. You are missed and will never be forgotten.
Because of you I’ve got Alex and have had Ally, Liam and Cam.
My heart goes out to Glenn and your family.

Kathy was a vibrant, loving and loyal friend. With 26 yrs of friendship I could talk all day about our escapades. We laughed a lot. Kathy was always late but when my Dharma was having chemo treatments Kathy always was on time. Our universe lost an angel. I will miss her, my funny friend with a heart of gold.

I remember when I first brought home Viktor and I called Kathy to find out what was wrong with him. I had never heard of a Rottweiler howling and he was making a habit of it at 4 AM. In her reassuring voice she quickly responded that only the intelligent ones howl. 😉. I will miss sharing my journey as a new Rottweiler owner and being able to reach out for advice. Rest in peace my friend and condolences to your family.

I have three great memories of Kathy… One morning I was out picking cherries and Griffin came over to check out my Leonberger, Willow. I had never met Griffin and called to Kathy to come and get him. She was laughing at me, rightfully so. He was a big gentle giant.
The second memory is the two of us walking around town, early in the morning, in our PJ’s looking for one of her girls. She had gone missing, only to be found under her back deck ready to give birth. We were a sight to be seen.
Lastly was working in the Frie Truck sweating up a storm and serving burgers to the throngs that came out at the events. She had a great handle on things and kept us all moving.
She will be missed.

Myself, Lisa and Lexus here at Pathways Holistic Petcare Centre in London always loved when she would travel down to see us with one of her lovely Rotties. Kathy was so open to the Holistic side of treating her pups and several of her previous litters eventually became a patient here We will miss her indeed and offer our deepest condolences to her family 🙏

Deepest sympathies to Kathy’s family. We were friends back in the 1970’s and 1980’s before I moved to Texas. We had many adventures before life took us on different paths, and I will always treasure the great memories I have of this dynamic, loving woman who has gone too soon.

I’ve known my sister n law Kathy for more than 47 years. She was the most beautiful, amazing woman who had such a great love for animals. She was an amazing Aunt Kathy to Nycki and Aly who spent many of their weekends as young kids at her home. Our hearts are truly broken 💔, we always thought that Kathy would live alot longer than unfortunately did 💔. R.I.P Kathy and hug our Eleni and yiayia for all of us.
Love you so very much ❤️
