We were so sorry to hear about Kathy passing. It was nice to see she was surrounded by her loving family. Kathy was a woman with a tremendous amount of courage, and strength. She has left quite a legacy in her sons. The Healy family has always been a part of my life from her dad giving me my first job to her brother marrying me 26 years ago. The Cato family now has an angel watching over them every day keeping them safe.
