I woke up this morning thinking about all of you so did a search. When I found this I was sad and nostalgic, but full of happy memories. I remember all the times we used to play at your house. I also remember that steep narrow staircase that was in your house. Interesting the things we remember. Kathy was such a bright, fun and enthusiastic person. I loved her laugh!
