Aunt Kathy was a wonderful, caring and sweet woman. I consider myself very lucky to have her in my life for 51 years. My father, mother and sisters all adored her. I have so many fond memories of growing up with the Bystricky Family. She had a beautiful smile and laugh and I will always treasure every moment spent with her. May she rest in peace knowing that she touched the hearts of so many around her.
There was nothing like her smile and her laugh and her no nonsense comments! Will miss hearing her voice. Love to all the family

Kathy and Rosemary,
I was very saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. I remember her and how actively involved she was in your lives! She was always kind to me; at the commissary, pool anywhere she ran into me. My prayers and thoughts are with you both.
