Kathy will be greatly missed. Her zest for life was contagious and I for one, will miss her laugh especially. She could always talk me into doing anything and was a great mentor to me in my professional life (EDS/Aurum). I was so glad that I got to know her and maintain our friendship over the years (17yrs). My thoughts and prayers are with Nancy, Steve, Eric and all of the family because I know her absence will leave a void in your family. I pray that you find peace in knowing that she made a lot of people happy while her time was with us. Be Blessed,
