It is hard to accept that a nice woman like Kathy had her life cut short. I met Kath in high school. I ran into her several times after that. She always got my attention and had great things to talk about. The world needs more people like her!!!
My prayers and thoughts are with the her family.

Dear Gary:
I was shocked and saddened to hear this news! Kathy and I had great times through our school years but drifted apart as our families and lives took our time away. As my kids have grown up, I decided to make more time to rekindle old friendships and Kathy was at the top of my list. I can't believe the opportunity is gone. My greatest sympathies to you and her entire family.
Rest in Peace, Little Sis!
Love,
Michele (Big Sis)
