As i sit and read all the posts on Katherine Margret Cordova passing i already know that each and everyone one of us has a story to tell about kat.. When i got the first phone call a few weeks ago to come down it wasn’t good i admittedly refused. No i couldn’t do it still haven’t started to acknowledge the first two most painful deaths and now a third.. You were told and completely understood.A few weeks later the 2nd call now it’s day’s maybe a week.Katherine you were a huge part of my life for close to 30yrs. you were one of my closest, dearest,and sister/ friend that anyone could have to grow up with.you were wild,crazy,and fun,but if they really knew you they’d also know how caring,sensitive,and loyal to a fault you were .I thought long and hard before i put my big girl pants on and came down to say my good-byes when i ever walked in and seen that smile i knew it was all worth it.I came down a few more times within the last week just hanging out talking about back in the day showing you some of the hundreds of pics of us and the crew. The six of us were unstoppable we rocked the playground lol. We laughed and every pic had a story behind it.I tell my friends now some of these stories about all of us and i truly get responses like you’re all insane or the O.M.G jaw drop or the best one i get is hysterical laughter.Even though we lost some years between then and now the last few years have been awesome didn’t speak daily but was there every year to celebrate my birthday with me.When i got the final phone call last night when you passed i actually felt relief rather than sadness no more pain and suffering.Katherine you were an amazing mother,wife,and one the best friends that anyone could ever hope for. I am so lucky that you were in my life and one of my best friends for life,now go get some of mom’s cooking which you loved and go have a beer with Scott like old times. I love ya Katherine Day Cordova in my heart forever Rest in Paradise.

I’m reading this and seeing your picture and still can’t believe this has happened. You were one of my first friends in life, this was not supposed to happen like this.

So sad to hear of Katherine’s passing. I went to Cna school with her and worked with her a few times and have not seen her in years but when I seen the obituary I recognized her right away. Prayers to her family.
Still cant believe your gone. You were a great mother, companion, aunt and sister in law. You will be truly missed. I know you are resting comfortably now and with Big Joe and my son John. I love you dearly! Rest in peace sis.
