Sincere condolences to Kathy's family. Although we never met, Kathy was a source of guidance and inspiration for me amongst many others. We connected through the Digital Marketer facebook group and later directly on Facebook. She will be sadly missed but not forgotten!

You were my first business coach and our friendship that grew from an email to social media is priceless. I'm grateful to have received your respect, encouragement and support over the past decade. I'm now doing my business full time again as I shared that intent long ago. Your soul is very much alive. Your physical presence and online presence is missed. However your wisdom shared is eternal my friend, fellow author and entrepreneur! Blessings and prayers to your family always.

I met Kathy in a Facebook group lead by the team at DigitalMarketer. Kathy was always helpful, adding her expertise to everyone else. She always sent a smile. This is so sudden and unexpected for me but probably not for her family. Thank you for sharing Kathy with us all. Thank you for allowing me to share my memories of Kathy. May the Lord bless you.
