My heart is so saddened by this. What a beautiful person - inside and out. I remember the days of scuba diving at Jamestown, cleaning the Hornet, and the night Kathy, my Mom (Kathy) & my Dad (Butch) slept out for Duran Duran tickets for the neighborhood. Those are just three simple memories right off the top of my head, but there are so many more in my heart. We were so fortunate to have many "Mom"s and "Dad"s growing up. Kathy - your smile and fantastic laugh will never be forgotten. You have touched many hearts. xoxox
