Kathy was my sister Kathy´s best friend in high school. She was at our house frequently and was a part of our family. She called our parents Mom-o and Pop-o. Kathy was the kindest, most genuine and gentle friend my sister had, and everyone in my family adored her. We lost track after she married yet I´ve always kept her in my heart. She was such a special person and I regret that we were never able to reconnect. I miss her dearly.
