I was truly saddened to hear this news. I have never forgotten the special woman that she was and how she touched my life. I am also sad that I was unable to find her to thank her personally for mentoring me as a young girl. I always felt truly grateful that she opened her heart, home and family to me. Something I hold very close to my heart. Mr. Kuhn, Andi and Casey my thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family as you mourn the loss of your loving wife and mother. May you always take comfort in knowing that your mother was very special and touched so many lives and hearts! May God's peace be with all of you. Sending love, hugs and prayers. I am forever grateful to her.
