Kathryn Poe Weeks

Kathryn lives on in all of us! Every time I notice the beauty of a flower, every time I see the sun rise, every time I hear thunder, every time I see a christmas stocking, every time i see the word "joy".... the list is endless. Aunt Kathryn was an unforgettable force that left an impression on everyone she met. I got to become the person I am largely because of her- thank you Aunt Kathryn- you taught me how to love life! Get ready heaven, the party is just starting!

Grandma had a saying about Money: "Save a third, spend a third, and give a third." Like many other aspects of her life she gave much more than a third. She certainly didn't save any of her love. She gave that freely. To know Grandma was to love her and I've never met anyone who knew her that didn't love her.

Grandma will never be forgotten by those that knew her. Her legacy is the love that lives on in the Poe, Brown, and Fielden families.

We love you grandma. I can't wait to see you again. Love, Andrew

Kathryn was the embodiment of LIFE -- she lived what she believed and loved everyone fortunate enough to meet her. To be in her presence was to know courage, joy, excitement, appreciation, anticipation and hope. My life will be forever changed by her love and I count that one of my greatest gifts to have ever received. She will be missed more than most, yet her memory will give us a marker for the days ahead.

Kathryn was my Sunday School teacher for probably 15 years. How much she taught me about living this life for our Lord. She was a wealth of knowledge and love. I remember her saying that her greatest joy was learning a new truth about God. I miss her already.

Kathryn you always had the time to show just how loving a home could possibly be and how never let any problems shadow your love for family and guest. You made me feel so at home and welcome. You always loved to hear where I was in the world and where I was going next, and I always had to let you get my card to change the address so you could keep up with me and my family. As a child and being adopted sometimes you have the inner feeling of not belonging because sometimes it's hard to know where your going if you dont know where you came from, I can honestly say I never had that feeling when I was around you and I would always look forward to seeing you. You always had my little shoe box with the silly string and toys like you had planned that I would stop by from Nannies house. You were the one that no matter what, you had the time for all the children of the family sit down and talk, you love to get down our level and just have fun and we all loved you for that. I never knew anyone that always had a smile on thier face and so much love in thier hart as you. You taught me to love and cherish every moment we have in this life, and I will alway love you for that. God, Family and country was the order of each day and you will be truly missed. Semper Fi Marine.

PS. Give my Daddy a hug for me when you see him.

Poe,

Funny how it feels as if I too have lost an Aunt. I never refered to her as anything but " Aunt Kayhryn ", I'm sure Dodson can say the same. She was just one of many in the Poe clan that I truly enjoyed being around. Heaven has gained new luster by her presence.
