KATHY RADIMER

As one of her classmates from elementary school (and possibly earlier) through high school, we were in many of the same classes and activities (from Brownie Troupe to Girl Scouts, band, JV and varsity sports, Girls' Leaders, National Honor Society, student governmentthe list goes on). Though our lives diverged after high school graduation, we had the pleasure of reconnecting at our 40th year high school reunion. It was as if we were just picking up from yesterday.

I spent my senior year of high school with Kathy and lived across the street from her. I just learned of her passing today and want to extend my condolences to her family. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

As a nutritionist, obviously Kathy wanted to provide the very best food for her family, and I benefited from that as well on...

My condolences to Phil, Katura, William, and the rest of Kathy's family. Many of us will miss her, but none as deeply as you.
