Grandma, I will miss you and think of you often. Thank you for all the great memories we shared on the farm. I will always value the times we had there.

Sorry for your loss. Your mom was a wonderful person and will be missed.

Dear Linda and Family, Condolences to you in the loss of your dear mother. She was such a sweet lady -- I remember her from many years ago when Linda and I were in high school. May your memories comfort you during this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, Bonnie

Barbara, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in the loss of your mother. Cherish your fondest memories and hold them close to your heart. They will in time bring you peace. With my deepest sympathy.

Barb, Linda, John, Donna, Becky, my condolences for the loss of your Mom. I haven't seen you , Barb, since high school, but have fond memories of the times I went to your house to spend time and ride horses. I have often wondered where you are now. Your mom was so nice and made everyone feel welcome. Heaven gained an angel.

Barb, Linda, John, Donna, Becky I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a wonderful person. I was shocked and saddened to hear this news. Although I didn't get to know your mom as well as Vicki, David and Gina, there is one memory that sticks out in my mind and that is of the family reunion in 1969. Aunt Dee and my mom had such a hard time keeping us younger kids in line, especially on the farm. My heart goes out to all of you. Aunt Dee will be missed.

Linda, Barb Donna, Becky and John My heart is very heavy for your loss. Aunt DEE is a very special person! She was always so kind and willing to help the world. Although in my adult life I didn't visit as often as I might have , she always had a special place in my heart. I will miss her greatly! All my love to my cousins!

My deepest condolences in the loss of your Mom. Aunt Dolores has always been a pleasure and delight to be around. Some of my earliest memories are of the huge get-togethers we had at the farm and your folks being such gracious hosts. Because life on the farm was so different from what I was used to, your mom showed me around and explained some of the “country way” of living. She gave me my first glimpses of an out-house; explanations of the spring house, experiences feeding pigs and horses. These cheerful little tours were made more interesting and fun by her unique sense of humor. And she would add a little bit of mystery to it all with just a playful hint or two. Like suggestions of snakes in the spring house or weakened boards in the barn floor. I was a just a bit more grown up when my sisters and I got to stay in that big old farmhouse for a few days. Aunt Dee once again was a very gracious (and patient) hostess. I remember seeing how much harder nearly every daily chore was for her. Yet my Aunt Dee did it all with a smile. This included the cooking. She announced we would have stew one night; not just any stew. It would be Mulligan Stew. When I asked what that was, she simply replied with her great big grin, “Oh, just you wait and see.” I was full of anticipation by the time supper was served. That kind of build-up made it seem so much more than a delicious and hearty meal. I remember thinking it was one of the best meals anybody could ever serve. After we left West Virginia, it was many years before I returned. That’s when I was able to really appreciate my Aunt Dee from an adult’s perspective. I became more familiar with her vulnerabilities, her fears and her quirkiness. Our conversations could warm my heart and almost always make me laugh. Especially with my dad around, we would often talk about older times and this gave me more insight into the family past than I could ever get from Dad alone. All of you, my dear cousins, will be experiencing your individual grief, the memories you share with each other and your own private memories of your Mom. Please know that she will be missed by many others. She will be remembered by many others, with great fondness.

Donna, Barbara, Linda, John and Becky; I was so saddened to read about your Mom's passing. I had just ran into her last week at the grocery store. She was with Barbara and we had a wonderful chat. I usually saw her at least once a month out shopping. I sure will miss seeing her. My son Jim sends his condolences also. He sure did enjoy working and helping your Mom with her home remodeling projects. Blessings and prayers sent your way. Rest peacefully Mrs. Kochy Debbie Knight Kosem

Heaven has gained a wonderful angel. This is a woman who will be missed by all. Our deepest sympathy to the entire Kochy family and extended families.
