Stacy, Tracy and Casey - So sorry for your loss. Kathey welcomed me with open arm from the time I was a little girl! She will be greatly missed and always remembered.

Stacy & Tracy,

My deepest sympathy. What wonderful memories my family has with you girls and Kathey. Such a big part of our lives for many years. What a wonderful Mother. I'll never forget all the things we did together, school functions, birthday parties and winning the freshman volleyball league at PRP. We didn't know a thing about volleyball at that time. Take comfort in knowing that Kathey put her kids first, she was always there for you growing up, and it reflects in the kind of Mothers you are today. I am so sorry. Stacy and Tracy, I love you.
