My thoughts and prayers are with The Allen-Harris family. I was told of her passing today and was immediately sadden. Kathy was such a beautiful person and always willing to support the positive, it had to make sense. I met Kathy almost 11 years ago before she started her own tax business and I very much appreciated her professional advice, as well as, her loving and supportive heart! Although I will miss Kathy, I know she is resting well with The Lord! God Bless the family and be encouraged that Kathy was gift that God decided to keep for Himself! My Condolences...India
