You will be missed

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Kathy at Murphy's in Miami. She became a family friend. Kathy was the only female manager in the store and she held her own with the men. A good example for all the young women who worked there. She was a wonderful person, a supportive boss, funny, caring, hard working and always spoke lovingly about her family -- nieces, nephews, siblings, parents.
I am very sorry to hear of her passing.
Kathy, you are remembered and will be missed.
My sincerest sympathies to her family and loved ones.
