Chet and Kathy's children,

So sorry to learn that Kathy passed away. I only me her a couple of times back in 1998 when I dated Chet Sr. She was a very pleasant person. You kids wouldn't remember me but I'm sure you remember the little beagle I gave you. I had named her Ginger. Immediately, the three of you fell in love with her and I knew in my heart she was going to a "forever" home. Possibly she's still around. I hope so!!

May the love and memories help you through this most difficult time. God bless.

Love,
Dawn(Davis)Horning
