Hard to believe Kathy has been gone 3 years. She was a wonderful niece and followed my 20-year active-duty Air Force career of assignments. I'm sure glad to have guarding over us yet today.

Derrin & Family. I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember when Kathy and I talked in Oct 2019 and how excited she was about having you in her life. It's times like these when I recall a line/quote from the movie 'Steel Magnolias': "She went to a place where she could be a guardian angel. She will always be young. She will always be beautiful. And I personally, feel much safer knowin' that she is up there on my side."
