Condolences & Donations

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there , I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blows I am the diamond glint on the snow. I am the sunlight on the ripened grain I am the gentle Autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there I did not die..

I just found out about Kathy's passing. I met Kathy back in the late 80's when we both were new employees at Manufacturers Bank. I had been there about a month when she came. Knowing how awkward it is on your first day, I introduced myself to her and invited her to lunch. She was funny, witty, smart! And although I was nearly 10 years her senior, her mature way made it so easy to relate to her. Most every morning we would stop into each other's cubicle to catch up on events in our lives. We talked about many things and had much in common. She LOVED hockey, I loved WWF Big Time Wrestling. Her middle name "Dana" was also my deceased sister's middle name, and is also my brother's middle name. I often told her that she was like the little sister I never got to see grow up. During that time, I married. She nick-named me "Granny Campbell", a name that I went by after that. One day she told me about a man named Ken, whom she met at a hockey game . She was crazy about him and his kids. As time passed I could tell that she loved them. At that time, she told me that she wanted to get married (to Ken) and raise a family. She did marry Ken, and then I nick-named her "The Farmer's Wife." We were always surprising each other in fun ways: Like the time I got a box of "Teddy Grams" and covered the "a" with an "o." I gave it to her and waited to see how long it would take her to notice that it said "Groms." Didn't take long! One day I came to work and found a box on my desk from her. It contained two WWF wrestling action figurines (Brutus Beefcake and The Farmer), my favorites! I still have those figurines. The bank merged with another and then closed. People went seperate ways. As time went by, we lost track of each other. But the passing of time can't take everything from us as I have always kept her right here in my heart! And I can see that she did raise a family with Ken, and so I know that she did get the thing that she told me she wanted all those years ago. To the Gelinas and the Grom families: I'm so sorry for this monumental loss and all the pain this brings. I pray that somewhere in the future your pain can be replaced by fond thoughts and memories of this special and wonderful person who was truely an angel on earth!

I would rather have little rose From the garden of a friend. Then have the choices flowers When my stay on earth shall end. I would rather have the kindest words And a smile that I can see. Than flattery when my heart is still. And this life ceased to be. I would rather have a loving smile From friends I know are true. Then tears shed around my casket When the would I bid adieu. Kathy will be missed my many ..

Dear Ken, Amber, Trevor & Family I am so sorry and saddened to hear of the loss of your wife and mom.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. Kathy Grom was a good friend and neighbor. We had a lot of fun on the corner of Park and Ronnie when we were young. It's good to see she had a good life and lots of people that loved her.

My heart goes out to the Gelinas family at this time. Section 206, row 22 at the Joe just won't be the same without Kathy's smile. We will truly miss her. Amber and Trevor you will need to keep your mom's spirit alive and keep striving for your goals. She will be watching. It is a sad day in Hockeytown today. She will be missed.

We Remember Them Unknown Author At the rising of the sun and at its going down, We remember them. At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of Winter, We remember them. At the opening of buds and in the rebirth of Spring, We remember them. At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of Summer, We remember them. At the rustling of leaves and the beauty of Autumn, We remember them. At the beginning of the year and when it ends, We remember them. As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as we remember them. When we are weary and in need of strength, We remember them. When we are lost and sick at heart, We remember them. When we have joys we yearn to share, We remember them. When we have decisions that are difficult to make, We remember them When we have achievements that are based on theirs, We remember them. As long as we live, they too shall live, for they are a part of us, as we remember them.
