To the family of Kathy Zimmer: I am so sorry to hear of your loss of dear Kathy. I appreciated her so much. She was a dear, fine & outstanding young lady. I believe I met her when she started to work for Dr. Klein. She was very special to me & certainly touched the lives of many people. I will never forget her kindness, her thoughtfulness & patience. She did an outstanding job & took great pride in helping me select glasses and making sure they met my needs. My condolences to you & yours. Patti Drew

We are patients of Dr. Klein's, and always enjoyed Kathy's sweet smile and kindness. Our prayers are for your family's healing through God's love. Sincerely, John and Brenda Hussey

To Alan, Dana, Derek, Mike, Tim, Pat and their families, We are all very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you. From all of Kathy's High School Girl Friends.

Dear Alan and family: I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I have great memories of growing up with Kathy, from Grant School through high school. I hope it eases your heartbreak a little to know she was truly loved by many. My prayers to your whole family during this very difficult time.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Kathy was such a wonderful person and she loved you all so much. I am sad that I did not keep in touch after I moved away. If our family can do anything for you during this time please do not hesitate to ask.

ALAN: I had dinner tonight with Sharon Faukner Flake and we both recalled good days in the past with Kathy and you. First Pres is still here in Muscatine although a shadow of its former self. I moved back to Muscatine in 1994 and built a house which works for me and makes my piano happy. If you return to Muscatine, please be sure to find time for a visit. RR

So sorry to hear of the passing of Kathy. I had my glasses at her optical office and thought highly of her. My sincere condolences to all the family.

Kathryn, I want you to know how much I love you and will miss you with all my heart and soul. You were my rock, my ray of sunshine, and the only love I ever knew. Sweet Dreams...Till We Meet Again.

Our deepest sympathies at your loss. Jason and Kara Vuic Staunton, Va

From: Ben Jones of Marchon Eyewear. I have called on Kathy for 17 years including time when she was with Kick. My dear Family, I learned that when visiting Kathy I should allow an extra 15 to 30 minutes. Why you ask. Because she was very proud of her family and always wanted to share pictures of kids, wedding (very nice) etc. Such a nice lady and now that I think about it, she never said a bad word about anyone...... just always a perfect lady. She will be missed and I am so, so sorry. We trusted each other as she gave me a free hand at keeping up with her frame inventory. My son is being inducted into the National Honor Society Tues PM so I am sorry to say I cannot be there. But, I know in my heart that Kathy would want me to see him and that she is watching. Bless all of you. Ben JonesClearwater

To Alan, Dana, Derek, Mike, Tim, Pat and their families we're so sorry to hear about Kathy's passing. She was in my class in Jr High and I remember her as being very sweet and fun to talk to. We're sure she will be missed by all who knew her and loved her.

Dear Alan and Family, We are so sad to hear of Kathy's passing. She will be remembered by us and many more as a beautiful, caring,and thoughtful person. She dearly loved her family and spoke of you often. She will be missed. Sincerely, Tom and Tandy Seitz

Mike, Tim, and Pat, I've known Kathy since the day she was born into our...the McFate...family. She was always a sweet and kind person, and Trish and Greg and I have many fond memories of times spent with you all...with your parents Harvey and Janet, my parents Marge and Gordon Christensen, Grandma and Grandpa McFate...at the farm and at your place in Muscatine! For Dana, Derek, Luke, and Alan, I am so sorry for your loss and please know we all love you and pray for you. And most of all, we loved your mother, my cousin, Kathy. Love from all the McFate cousins. Sharon

Kathy's mother was my Girl Scout leader at Grant School. We had lots of fun together in Girl Scouts at Grant School in Muscatine. My condolences to Kathy's family.

Dearest Alan, Derek & Gwen, Dana & Michael & Luke, I was so stunned to learn of your loss, but so grateful for Alan to call. Your beloved wife, mother, & grandma is now forever with our Gracious Lord & Savior. She was a very special & treasured friend to me, even though the miles separated us for many years. God had given us a bond as sisters-in-Christ that was an on-going encouragement & strength. She was such a loving, caring, wise, compassionate, intelligent, & fun gal, with a deep & abiding faith in the Lord. I was so excited to learn many years back that she'd found a church home in which to share her many gifts & be blessed in return. Her legacy of faith, devotion, love, commitment, & giving lives on in you, her beloved husband & children & anyone who knew & loved her. Truly, to know Kath, was to love her. The sweet serene spirit of this beautiful, treasured, petite-in-stature but huge-in-heart, daughter-of-the-Most-High-God will continue to be reflected in & through your lives as the countless memories you share help bring you all some comfort & peace as you grieve her absence. But, one day we'll all have a grand reunion in Heaven, together! P T L! You're most fondly remembered, & remain in our hearts, thoughts, & prayers. Look to Jesus, the Author & Finisher of our faith. What an Awesome God we serve! Love in Christ ~ Diane & Family

Al,Dana & Mike,Derek & Gwen, We are grieving with you and for you. You have had the privilege of having a wife and mother who loved you with all her heart,who loved unconditionally, who gave without expecting a thing in return and had the sweetest spirit of anyone we have ever known. We have lost a sister we loved dearly. I will miss her cards that she faithfully sent every year on special occasions. I have kept them all.Honor her memory in all that you do and take comfort in knowing how proud she was of her family. I still can see the fifteen year old my brother called his girlfriend and in my eyes she will always be young. Love to you all.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
