Betty,
I am so sorry to hear about Kathy. I am so glad I was able to talk to her when she came out to Denver. I will always remember the good times the three of us had growing up.
May God bless you

Daniel and family and Betty, It is hard to say goodbye to my BFF, my third sister, my friend for life. She and I were voice friends before we actually met. We slept in the rec room at one of the dorms at UNC. I had the upper and she claimed the lower bunk. She was in bed before me and I was up before her, so we shared several conversations and our names but never actually saw each other. But one day in the cafeteria, while I was in line, I heard a familiar voice. I said Kathy and she said...
