Kathy and my mother were roommates at Jennings and would have been such good friends in "another life". Kathy always had a smile, no matter the circumstances. What a wonderful attitude! A pleasure to have known her and her loving family.

I met Kathy at Jennings Terrace almost 2 years ago. She was one of my favorite people there.... she always had a smile for everyone who talked with her. I am going to miss her.

She had the best sense of humor and I can always remember her singing while ironing (Patsy Cline especially). She loved poetry, too and prided her heritage. She was the best Mother and we were lucky she was ours. We will always love her and miss her.
