The following messages of condolence and symbols
have been added in memory of Kathleen.

Our deepest condolences to Rod and the family. We have fond memories of Kath and Rod during our time studying in Melbourne. You were great neighbors to us and we remember the warm hospitality you provided us.

Both of you are such a loving couple and we hope to emulate the love and patience you have for each other. We are very blessed to have met you and share those beautiful moments together.

Kath will be greatly missed, but her spirit lives on in our hearts and in the memories we cherish.

Kath's passing is a great loss for all of us, and especially for her loving Rod and family.

Knowing Kath proved to be special. She was a devoted wife, mother and precious friend. We had wonderful times together. Her beautifully calm and caring manner encouraged everyone. As a talented, selfless woman she inspired and supported those around her. "Perfect" describes her presence.

We will always remember when we first met dear Kath, 47 years ago
in the U.S. with recently born Stephanie in her arms and Narelle and
in a pram, thousands of miles from home. The challenges that
followed must have been enormous.

Kath will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered having enriched
so many lives.

My sincere condolences to the Reed family. I have fond memories as a young child of Kath as Narelle and I became best friends from a very young age. She was not only beautiful outside but had a soft and gentle nature and an amazing mother and wife to her lovely 3 daughters. She was as a child the most glamorous mother, she always looked stunning and her appearance to others inspiring. She was intelligent and a perfect role model to her daughters who she devoted her life to. She was the diamond 💎 amongst the stones. A rare beautiful lady that will be sadly missed. With loving memories, Lisa Malley & family.

Dear Rod, Narelle,Steph and Jackie, Geoff and I were very sad to hear of Kaths passing. We have many memories of fun times spent together, especially kinder days and dinners.May beautiful memories help you all through this sad time. Our love and thoughts are with you all ❤️ Geoff and Keri

I was proud to call Kath my auntie. My earliest memories - of her with her black poodle Pedro in the backyard of Grandma’s house, and when I was a four-year-old flower girl at her wedding – she let me choose the colour of my dress – yellow – I felt extremely special. I carried a little basket of Frangipani in this role, and it remains my favourite flower because of Kath.
She was an excellent cook and host – she taught me how to whip cream with a hand beater.
In my eyes she was my “cool” auntie when she embraced the modernist period of 1960’s with the latest hair styles, white shagpile carpets in their home, and when she boldly painted Narelle’s crib bright red that she had borrowed from my mum, Patsy. She always had a keen sense of style, and her looks were impeccable. Throughout the years she showed such love and interest in me.

My love and caring, I send out to Rod, Narelle, Steph, Jackie, and families at this sad and difficult time. Take care. xxx

Kath… A beautiful wife, mother, confidant of over 56 years.

We have climbed many mountains together, shared sorrow and disappointment, but also wonderful shared memories.

We will always be beside each other, past, present and future. Rod xx

Our family have many special, lovely memories of Kath, my cousin, and join me in sending our thoughts, compassion and love to you Rod and your family. Kath's life was a gift and blessing.
