I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Kathy. I have many wonderful memories of growing up together. I have pictures of Kathy and I sharing a playpen as our parents were good friends. I remember she and her dad trying to teach me how to water ski, fishing at the lake and spending sleepovers at the lake as well as the house in Goshen. Dorthy and Sharon , please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was so sorry to learn of Kathy's death. I have many fond memories of our childhood on Prospect Avenue, and hope that happy memories of waterskiing at Starlight Lake, sledding down the hill past the McMahon's house, playing all kinds of neighborhood games (including playing with Peggy's monkey!) will help ease the grief of Dorothy and Sharon in the days to come.
