Dear Bill and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have such fond memories of Kathy and the happy times we shared in the Luffing Lassies. What ever would we have done without her wonderful, hilarious "color coordination". Her lively spirit added so much to our times on the water. God bless Kathy and God bless you.

Bill and Family,
Dave and I are so sorry to learn of Kathy's passing. I have such fond memories of our conversations - and will never forget Kathy loaning me a "spring form pan" to make my very first cheesecake after patiently explaining to me it was "spring form" not "spring foam". You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Kathy will be missed by many - but heaven is rejoicing in her presence.
