We were fortunate to get to meet Kathy and Rick on a recent trip with Joel and Kelly joe and it felt as if we had known her our whole lives. What a wonderful and fun lady. Troy got to play golf with her several times in our short time there and grew to lover her overnight. We were blessed to meet her and her entire family.
