Two years? It seems impossible. Her light still shines in memories: Her obituary missed "great cook and party giver; straight shooter" . It´s a good time to remember those memories.

Despite this, I thought of Kathy often throughout the years and treasure the memories of our childhood. My condolences to Deb.

Kathy was a great person to work with at the golf course. Very involved in the community she lived in.

Met Kathy and her family many years ago, when my friends the Coe's, moved across the street from them. Just sad to see this.

We are so sorry to hear about Kathy's passing. Our sincere condolences to Deborah, friends and family members. Rest in peace, Kathy.
