Praying for Kathy's family during this trying time. May God hold you tight. Miss. Kathy and I worked together at Newark for many years and she made me smile and laugh daily. She always had a smile on her face and a friendly word towards everyone. She was an amazing woman and friend. Keeping you in my prayers.

Initially, I was so shocked and saddened to learn of Kathy's passing. However, I can rejoice knowing that Kathy has gone home to be with our Lord and Savior. I have such fond memories of the many years I worked with Kathy @ Newark and miss her so much. I look forward to the day that We will meet again in the perfectness of Heaven.
