I am so very saddened to hear about Kathy. She was a delightful woman and she certainly loved her family. And loved to sew for her Grandchildren. I will miss her.

What an honor to know Kathy! For the short while I knew her from sewing class she was no doubt one of the sweetest, kindest, most generous people I know. My heart goes out to her precious family.
