Grandma, it has almost been a year since you left. I am still lost and sad without you. Everyday, I look at the phone, wanting to dial your number and waiting for you to call and tell me all about your day. Although it never comes, I know that you are watching over me, keeping me and Kyler safe. You are so truly missed...love you.

I knew Kathy from her volunteer work at Ladies of Charity in Buffalo. She and her friend, the late Betty Connor, worked tirelessly on the annual fashion show. When that was done, they assembled hat and glove sets for children. All that, while enjoying a good laugh! She will be greatly missed.
