It is with a very heavy heart to announce the passing of my mother, Kathleen Styx. She passed away early Sunday morning. I am so grateful that I was able to get home to be able to see her before she passed on. We all love her and miss her dearly, but also know she is in a much better place and no longer in pain and suffering. All information for services that will be held Thursday and is attached in her Obituary below. Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Thank you.
