Dear Bayne Family,
Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of Mrs. Bayne.
May you find peace and comfort in the Bible and all that it promises.
John 5:28,29
“Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”
May Almighty God of all comfort and tender comfort the Bayne family (2 Co.1:3,4),
When the last enemy strikes grief may be great and make
the heart yearn for comfort, Almighty God gives HOPE and
Promise at (JOHN 5:28, ISAIAH 26:19, ACTS 24:15 and
REVELATION 21:4) His HOPE and PROMISE SOON TO BE
ATTAIN, May these thoughts be of some comfort.

Dear Mike and kids,
John and I were so sorry to hear of Kathleen’s passing. I’ve spent the day thinking of all the fun anf crazy times I had with Judy Girvin and Kathleen. I remember especially the laughs we three girls had about the crazy things life would throw at us.
Ellen

God Bless
Wayne and Bert
Love and prayers to you all. Thank God for this wonderful lady, a gentle artist – always kind and courageous – now ever nearby as your advocate and protector, forever.
To the family of Kathleen (and Michael) Bayne…..our thoughts and
prayers include you at this time.
Why does it seem that the saints go early to heaven????
Mrs. Bayne was a wise woman who raised four wonderful children
(now adults) in the quietest manner that I have ever witnessed first-
hand. She shared wisdom such as “rather than focusing on pulling
weeds, always focus on what you are planting next.” What a great
metaphor for life! She made beautiful banners for worship at the
Queen of the Holy Rosary Church. She used her medical training
for the benefit of other’s lives professionally and seemed to find a
great balance with her professional life and her family.
No doubt the angels are rejoicing over her in heaven so even
though we will all miss her dearly, we realize that she has joined
the joy of heaven. May God send each of you (family and close
friends of K.B.) the comfort and solace needed at this time.
Anytime I see a well-tended garden, it will no doubt remind me
of Kathleen’s many gifts in life including creating such a warm,
loving, inviting, and beautiful aura and atmosphere in her home.
Blessings unto each of you!
Mrs. Ron (Diane) Carlson
Mike and family, please accept my sincerest sympathy at this very trying time. The angels are rejoicing, but the earth has lost a dear, dear worman. KB had an infectious smile; she loved her God and her family and her friends. How blessed we all were to have known and loved her. My prayers are with you during these trying days. Fondly, Maryann
I was a classmate of KB’s at the Mount and am sorry that I can’t be there for the memorial service and funeral. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers as you deal with this loss. Words are inadequate at times like these, but I know that KB is with the Lord and free from suffering at last. God bless you all.
Steve,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I can tell you that the pain will ease up with time and you will be filled with wonderful memories of your mom and family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Mike,
I offer you my heart-felt sympathy in the loss of your wife. My prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Anna and Bret Scholtes
Though I don’t know the family, I extend heart-felt condolences to them. How wrenching it is to lose another college-mate and house-mate. This lovely picture is the way I remember K.B. Peace be upon her and with all of you. She must be having a heavenly experience!

Dear Michael and Family,
I was so sad to read of Kathleen’s passing. I shared so many wonderful conversations with her when she worked at the HD lab. I was one of the nurses that kept her very busy but she never complained.I retired over a year and a half ago and since we were the same age, we often talked about retirement.I had the pleasure of visiting your home several times and enjoying the beautiful flowers. Kathleen was always my resource for growing plants. She was so very kind when my son had cancer.I will always treasure what she added to my life. The world was richer because she shared the journey. When I tend my flowers, I will feel her smile in ther warm sunshine.
Blessings and Peace be with you,
Patti Rule
Michael and family,
Our sympathies from our family to yours. Kathleen was a wonderful person, a child of God. We will miss her.
She was the first person I met in the neighborhood when we moved in these 25+ years ago. She was very welcoming and I will always remember her kindness to us.
Ron, Diane, William and Kristen Carlson
