I met Kathy when she came to Naples, Fl at Ralph Lauren Store where I was a salesperson. She loved Ralph Lauren clothes and shoes. We kept in contact with RL and shopped via email. I Learned she was an avid gardener and member of the garden club. We both loved gardening and shared garden photos..her garden was a beautiful showpiece on the garden club tour and she grew love in her garden. I loved her stories of visiting friends..deer and birds enjoying too! God was in her garden too enjoying all the flowers he created! She joined my small group of friends who I send Bible verses Daily which were inspirations to Kathy and brought a smile to her heart and me! Her legacy is her beaautiful garden she left to share .She was a dear special friend who has gone to heaven and is smiling down at her family and friends and i talk to her now from my petite garden and God daily i know she and God are smiling down on me too.
Hugh has joined my Daily Bible group and Kathy is smiling!

I will miss my dear friend Kathy so very much! We had wonderful visits and conversations on the phone! She chose beautiful things in her home and had excellent taste in her surroundings and I admired her discerning choices. She loved Hugh and her family and always spoke of them and latest stories! She was a wonderful lady!
