Kathy You will always be remembered for all the good times we had as children growing up in Miami;
Running around the neighborhood, climbing trees, having dinner with our families at your home, your dad playing guitar and singing, swimming at our house. You will also be remembered as a wife and mother for bringing children into this world. May the Lord bring comfort to Jim, John, Kenny, Debbie, Steve, Heidi and Lisa in this transitional period.

Kathy, you have been my friend from way back around 4th grade. We liked the same high school boy. We shared secrets, we shared laughs, tears and joys. We played on the elevators on Miami Beach and walked on to Elvis's floor. Mid night rides on your horse in Hialeah. So many memories. I still have the little black teddy bear you bought for me years ago. Will miss you. Your tears, are all dried, your laughter is forever ringing in Heaven. Keep a space open for us coming soon.
