I only recently learned of Kathy's passing. Kathy was a pure soul and as beautiful inside as she was on the outside. I hadn’t seen or been in touch with Kathy for over fifty years. We dated when we were both in High School and College but life took us in different directions. I will never forget her smile and her intuitive intelligence. Kathy was my first 'crush'. We went to my Senior Prom together and had so much fun because she could always make me laugh and that smile of hers was just radiant and full of pure goodness. We spent many fun hours in Ocean City at the shore and always had a great time when we were together. Kathy was able to brighten up any room she entered. I’m sure that God is happy to have her now with him in heaven. God Bless her eternal soul Kathy you are always in my thoughts and prayers.
