Kathy, I wish I would have gotten to say goodbye to you one last time. My last memory of you is how excited you were about taking care of your new grandson. You are greatly loved and sorely missed by all those who had the fortune of knowing you. I will think of you everytime I read a cat joke online or when I hear a beautiful piece of music. Your friendship and support meant so much to me and I will never forget you.

Kathy was my "second mom" while I was growing up and was one of the most influential people in my life as a child. She taught me the piano, she taught me how to bake, play cards, and so many other things. My thoughts and prayers to Bob, David, Gerald and Kerry.
