“Today marks 30 years since we got married. It’s also my husband’s birthday, and yet, just five months ago, he transitioned on a Tuesday. I’m feeling so many emotions at once. I weep, but I weep with hope because I know we will meet again in glory,” she wrote.
Kathy reflected on Allan’s unwavering love and their shared journey together.
“He was an incredible man, a truly generous soul who loved me loudly. I’ll always be grateful to God for giving me a husband who was also my best friend, confidant, father to my children, mentor, and hero. We shared so much, and he made so many of my dreams come true.”
She also honored Allan as a devoted father and grandfather, highlighting his positive impact on their family.

“Our children, @vanessakiunakovacs, @stephaniekiuna, and @jeremykiunaofficial, had the best dad. He raised them to be confident and grounded in a functional and loving environment. They have no excuses not to excel. And as for his grandchildren, they knew they were deeply loved.”
Kathy expressed her trust in God through her grief, writing, “God does all things well. While we only see in part, He sees the whole picture, so I choose to worship Him and glorify His name through it all.”
Admitting how deeply Allan’s passing has affected her, Kathy added, “Does it hurt? Very much. Do I miss him? Terribly. Did I see it coming? Not at all. My eyes are on Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith. Thank you for praying for me and my family.”
In a past interview on Kameme TV, Kathy had opened up about the first time she met Allan, sharing how they were instantly drawn to each other.
“I was heading to a lunch-hour evangelism meeting when I saw Allan making a call. I had noticed him before, and my sister thought he was handsome. As I walked by, he stopped me and said he wanted to talk. To my surprise, he even knew my name. He asked me out for lunch, but I initially said no,” she recalled.
Although she played hard to get, Kathy secretly hoped Allan would persist.
“In my heart, I prayed he wouldn’t give up. The second time he asked, I wisely said yes. On our first date, I told him about my 3-year-old daughter. He was so excited and even wanted to meet her. From that moment, we became the best of friends.”
