I can't believe time has passed so quickly. I think of Kathy often and always cherished the time and memories. God blessed us with being able to know and love her and my heart and prayers continue to go out to Dan, Sean, Amanda and Connor.

I have not gone a day this past year without thinking of Kathy; it's hard to believe it's been that long. My heart breaks for Dan, Sean, Connor and Amanda. You are in my thoughts and prayers always but moreso today.
