My condolences to Kathy's family. Though you boy's won't remember me my heart is still heavy for your loss. I only met you just a couple of times when there would be a gathering I do remember I liked both of your parents. We shared an Aunt in common and that was Kathy's sister Willa Dean Ensley. I'm going to email the notice to my older sister whom you might remember more. Peace be with you.
