Such a loving, kind and gentle woman. Glad I was able to be in your presence and assist you in the past. Was a nice time to share together. God’s blessings to you and your family.
Eisbrenner Family says
Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Kathleen Cloyd. May words of encouragement uplift your spirit at this time. Kathleen touched many lives and will be thought of often. In the difficult days to come may the many wonderful memories of her life give you comfort. Something we have personally found to be of great comfort are the thoughts expressed in the Bible at John 5:28 “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his (Jesus) voice and come out “. May God Jehovah comfort you during this sad time in your life.
