Condolences & Memories (37 entries)

• Although I was not personally blessed with the opportunity to know Kathy, I too have a Kathy in my life. The sorrow I feel for your loss Jordan, as well as the Leong family still weighs heavilly on my heart today. All I can offer you is our freindship, and to celebrate Kathy's life with you every day, remembering there's an angel with you in spirit, who is there to give you peace, and comfort when no-one else can. We love you buddy! Cliff, Kat, Tavia & Ethan Caners - Posted by: The Caners Family (Friend) on: Oct 01, 2012

• Kat, Always loved, never forgotten. Rest in peace. - Posted by: Teresa Olshevski (friend) on: Sep 28, 2012

• I always knew Kathy was nearby when I heard her infectious laugh. Laughter came easily to her, and I couldn't help but feel uplifted by her presence. When the laughter was continuous over a period of time, I knew she was talking to Robert Smith. Those two loved bantering back & forth. Although Kathy laughed easily, I knew she carried a lot of responsibility on her shoulders....but she didn't complain! Kathy took care of people, and ensured we all participated in life. She was our social convenor, our resident baker, and our glue. I will truly miss you Kathy, as you were one of a kind. Thank you for being you, and for sharing your spirit with us over the past 8 years. You'll be in our hearts & memories for many years to come. Jordon, Mr & Mrs Leong.....may the higher power bring you eventual peace regarding Kathy's passing. - Posted by: Mona Basset (Friend/ex-coworker Tax Dept. Air Canada) on: Sep 27, 2012

• On behalf of the entire Delta Winnipeg family, we are heartbroken that Kathy's health journey over the last year could end in such a way. Kathy and Jordon exemplified true love and were an example to all of us. Kathy's life work may be complete on this earth but she will live on with us in so many ways that will warm our hearts and make us smile. It was a honour to know Kathy. - Posted by: Helen Halliday (co-worker) on: Sep 27, 2012

• It was a tremendous shock to hear of Kathy's passing. My memory of both of you attending past MPI events, and how beautiful I thought Kathy was, and how wonderful the two of you were together will stay with me. Jordon please know that my thoughts are with you and your family in this time of sorrow. - Posted by: Lise Carbonneau (Colleague of Jordon's) on: Sep 27, 2012

• I was shocked and saddened to hear of Kathy's passing. I remember her fondly all the way back to elementary school where we were in the same class. We remained friends throughout junior and senior high and although lost contact after graduation, we re-connected through Facebook. I enjoyed seeing her gorgeous wedding photos and knew she was extremely happy. It's never fair when a young person leaves the world but I truly believe she is an angel now. My deepest condolences to her husband Jordon as well as her family. RIP Kathy. - Posted by: Aimee Horbul (School friend) on: Sep 27, 2012

• Jordon, we are so saddened to hear of your loss. We heard that you and Kathy had married from Simon and were so excited that you two were still together - salsa brings a passion that ignites for life . . . look at Grace and Rommel. The two of you glowed when you danced together and the love you shared was so evident. It's true, Kathy's smile lit up any room she was in and she had such a kind heart. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and yours and her family. Take the best of care Jordon. - Posted by: Jen and John Zorn-Ford (Friends from the Salsa gang) on: Sep 26, 2012

• I was extremely sad to hear of Kathy's illness and sudden passing. I remember dearly teaching and coaching Kathy at Garden City.

• I went to school with Kathy from elementary school to high school. I only saw her a few times after that until we re-connected on Facebook. (She has the same beautiful smile!) To read what so many people are writing about her--what a wonderful. giving, loving person she was--makes me wish I had known her better. My heartfelt condolences to Jordan and Kathy's family and friends. Rest in Peace, Kathy. - Posted by: Maria Fernandes (School friend) on: Sep 25, 2012

• I miss your friendly smile, laughter, and awesome baked goods. I still remember them cream puffs you gave me when we picked-up that huge cabinet (which I finished half of it between your house and our office ... a 10 minute drive). I will forever hold the memories: Cabin weekend at Lisa's and party at Cheng's. You are unforgettable. R.I.P. dear friend. @>-- - Posted by: MJRuiz (friend) on: Sep 25, 2012

• Kathy truly was one of those bright lights that radiate joy to all who were fortunate enough to be in her midst. She was taken much too early...a tragedy as there are far too few such souls on this earth.

• Kathy, how to start to describe you...? how to tell what your beautiful smile produced in all of us, how can anyone really express how those georgeous eyes full of life made us feel when we were around you?. I can't Kathy, and I doubt anybody ever will ever be able to completely express that. I just wish I could've said good bye. I will miss you. - Posted by: Julian Ospina (Friend/former salsa partner) on: Sep 25, 2012

• Kathy, you are someone who will never be forgotten. Your stamp of love your smile and laugh will hold a special place in my heart forever. I'll remember you whipping across a dance floor with Jordy and will always remember you with a loving heart. Jordy, words will never make things quite right, but even though your heart is heavy, know it's not just a loss but an angel gained because she will always be watching down over you.

• Jordon, how extraordinarily fortunate that you shared your life with one of the most endearing, beautiful people I had the privilege of meeting. Kathy left her mark in this universe of ours as well as in our hearts. The tributes I have read about her exemplify her true spirit and her joy for life. You could see it in her face, in her smile. She valued Family and Friendships to the max as do you. I know you will keep her lovely spirit alive. Please accept our most sincere condolences and know that we love you.
