I am so sorry for your loss . John 5 : 28,29
Kathy, I wish I could find the right words to express my sorrow for your loss. You are such a beautiful, caring person, that your life should be filled only with happiness and peace. When we talked about Kaye, I know he brought that to your life, after some very trying times.
Then, I was fortunate enough to meet Kaye and blessed to call him my friend. Whenever we were able to share time together, we laughed from beginning to end. It was so obvious how much Kaye loved you. His eyes would sparkle whenever he looked at you. You two shared a love that others can only strive to obtain.
You are a strong, Christian woman and I know your faith will carry you through this and God's love and grace will comfort you.
I will be here whenever you need me. Lifelong friends are rare and I treasure you. I want you to come to FL and spend some time with me as soon as you feel up to it. Love, Jan
Dear Kath, Jeff, Sharon,Larry, Shawn,Keri and Brian,
Since celebrating Kaye's life with all of you on Tuesday, we are even more thankful that we could consider Kaye to be a dear friend.We had such great times on trips to Kiawa and Outer Banks and South Beach.Remember the "handles" we had for the walkie talkes,before cell phones? We laughed tell we cried every day. More recently, having Kaye and Kathy help celebrate Bruce's 80th Birthday. Our sadness will continue for a very long time but we I'll be forever grateful for Kaye and all the good times.
Love Bruce and Cathy Wagner
Jeff and Family
Thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. When I worked for your Dad, it was never boring. His pranks and sense of humor are memories that I will never forget .May he rest in peace

Dearest Kathy,

Kassy, Jeff, Shawn, Keri, Bryan and your families,
Poppy had a child like joy that took over a room. If something was bothering you, he made it go away. I never knew how he did that, but he let you know that life wasn't that serious, it was FUN. There are too many wonderful memories, he loved us all unconditionally, he was always there for you, and he loved his Danishes, although he was always trying to quit.... I am proud to say he was my father-in-law. I am sure there is an epic game of golf in heaven...
So many hugs and kisses for all of our hearts that are so heavy. We were so LUCKY to have had him.
All my love,
Dawn
For all who feel the shock and sadness of the loss of this wonderful man:
I too cannot believe Kaye is gone. Although I didn't see him much during his adult years, I have so many wonderful memories of the time I spent with his family growing up in the Hereford Zone. His smile, laughter, silly pranks and loving tolerance of this young kid, who easily slid into the Mentzer family for a lifetime, will remain in my heart forever.
Although he is gone, I can easily picture him in heaven singing a joyous song as he is reunited with his family and friends who welcome him there. Meanwhile, here on earth, we celebrate his life and the many memories of our time together.
Love and sincere condolences to the entire Mentzer family,
Pam Windsor
Please accept our sincere condolences to Kathy and family, sister Sharon and brother Larry for the sudden loss of Kaye.

Love, John and Tina
