Kathy was beautiful inside and out and I enjoyed getting to know her and have a chance to do her hair for her wedding. She was truly my favorite bride.

Karen
I know we haven't been in touch lately but have always felt that we were very close friends. I'm very sorry to hear about Kathy and know you are as well. I know your father is in Wesley Commons now and have visited Laura Jeffcoat there recently. When you come down to Myrtle Beach, please look me up. I bought a condo here about four years ago. Again, I'm very sorry about your sister.
