There's not enough room or time on here to thoroughly express my condolences. I grew up IN that home with all of you and have just so, so many memories. Mrs K taught us all many lessons...(especially NOT to put our arm out of the car window :) and had a tenacity and spirituality that is unsurpassed! I hope that you all are comforted in the fact that she is at peace. I'm sure she's teaching God how to cook!! Even though I didn't see her, I will miss her. She was ALWAYS the first one to send me my Christmas card and I will miss seeing that in my mail!
Love to your entire family.

TO UNCLE KEN:
My sympathy to you. Aunt Katy was a true partner, and I know you'll dearly miss her. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

TO THE "KIDS" AND GRANDCHILDREN:
I am so very sorry for your loss. Your Mom/Grandmother was on very special woman...so caring and compassionate. (Was there anything she couldn't do if she set her mind to it?) She loved all of you so much. I hope your many memories will console you.

Mom would have loved contributions to be made to the American Cancer Society instead of flowers in her memory

Dear Kenworthy Family,

Our hearts are saddened over the loss of such an amazing, thoughtful, kindhearted woman that your wife/mother was. Aunt Kittie and our mom were so much alike, with their gentle spirits and love of God and family. They touched our lives in an unforgettable way. We are grateful for all the photos, cards, and prayers that Aunt Kittie sent us over the years, keeping us connected and making us feel special. It was a blessing to know her, and we can only imagine how much you will miss her. May it be a comfort to know Aunt Kittie has joined her family in heaven and is at peace with our loving Lord.

Sending prayers and love from Florida,
Chris, Lia, Lexa and Jason

She was always so nice to me and warm to be around. We exchanged seasonal cards every year and aunt Katie always wrote a page of how she was doing and always blessing us with her love. We will miss her and I wish all my cousins and uncle Ken% the most heart felt condolences. We will also be making a contribution to Cancer Research Institute in her name . We will be attending all of the services. Our prayers are with all in the Kenworthy Family.

Although I didn't know Aunt Katie well enough, I know that she was a wonderful, kind-hearted woman. My dad, John, spoke very fondly of his little sister. She will be missed greatly.

While we mourn that she has left her earthly family, I hope we can find comfort in knowing that she is with her Heavenly Family. Thoughts and prayers go out to Uncle Ken, cousins and all friends and family whose life Aunt Katie touched.

Mark & Cathy: Deepest sympathies on the passing of your mother. I did not realize how large your family was till today. Looking at the photos I am sure your mom was a great lady and will be sadly missed by all. I pray for your dad at this time as, much like mine, I am sure he will be lost without your mom.

Revelation 21:4 - God will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.

Our Deepest Condolences to your family.

Dear Fred and Family -- Our Hearts and Prayers are with you and your family at this time. We can't put into words how much Kitty and your entire family has meant to our family over the years. As Kitty babysitting Curtie and Robin we always were happy as we knew she loved and treated our children as though they were her own and Curtie and Robin looked at your children as part of our family God has truly called an Angel home to be with him and we know she now has no more suffering and is at peace. God Bless. We love you all.

My deepest condolences for herfamily who has lost a kind and gentle soul until we see her again. I may be on the other side of the country, but I will never forget the special feeling I felt when I received a letter with the Kenworthy sticker on it. Fred and Katy made me feel like family with just a simple reminder that someone cared and I will always feel a little less jolly every future Christmas that will now include a special ornament to mourn her passing.
