Sad news from Belmont, indeed. The "Princess of Dogwood Lane" as I used to call her back in the wonderus days of our youth will always be in my heart. She and her kind and generous family made growing up in Belmont a privilage I will forever cherish.

My life was blessed by knowing Kathy. I was comforted knowing she was watching over my family (The Adams). She was a good friend to Greg and Becca and loved Ally, Beau, and Ben like they were her own family. Afternoons rocking on the porch and visiting are some of my fondest memories of Kathy. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who knew and loved Kathy. Love, Myra Adams (Houma, Louisiana)
