I was sad to hear that Kathy left us. She was a 30 year member of our Fantasy Football League. Kathy was the League Commissioner early in the league's history and League Champion in 2005. She was instrumental in implementing the web site that is currently use for our league. Her absence will be greatly missed.

Our season will be dedicated to Kathy's memory.

Ride on Stallions. RIP Kathy.

So many wonderful memories that I'm not sure where to start. I first met Kathy when we were on a bowling league together. Kathy was quite competitive so we had a lot of fun trying to out do one another. We teamed up to bowl in State tournaments and had a ball doing it. Kathy and I travelled together often after my husband died...a weekend in Lake George, Christmas in Hawaii, a week in Myrtle Beach and a golf trip with a few other friends to Virginia. On of the funniest memories I have of golfing with Kathy was in Myrtle Beach. It had rained the night before and it was pretty muddy on one of the holes. Kathy's ball went off the fairway and we drove the cart to the edge to retrieve it. When she got out of the cart her foot went in a very muddy area and it sunk down to her knee. I went to help her get her leg unstuck and her shoe came off in the mud. We were both laughing so hard we could hardly breath.
I will miss you my friend, my soul sister, rest well and I'll see you again on the other side.

Kathy was so much fun to work with - always had a smile and the ability to make others laugh. She left us way to early. We miss you and love you, Kathy. Gary and Karen
