Condolences
I have always enjoyed your
I have always enjoyed your Mother and Dad, as they were both fun to be with. Your Mother, Kathryn, was easy to talk with and we laughed a lot together.
Those beautiful dolls she made were so special as well. The family has my sympathy and blessings as you go this journey. She will be missed.
God gives Comfort and Peace and Grace that is so abundant.

To the family of Kathryn Topper,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you at this sad time. May you cherish the memories of your loved one forever. I had the pleasure of knowing Kathryn through my cousin, Carole, who is married to Ralph. She was a hard working woman and devoted to her family. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. I am so happy that I had my last talk with Kathryn back in the fall of this year at a party in Hibernia Park.
RIP "Mom Topper"
