Her mom and dad and her brothers and sisters were neighbors of ours for years. A lovely family. Kathy was always helpful when we had to call the local but first we had to catch up about her family. Never saw her without a smile. She will be missed.

Kathy was a wonderful friend. I remember when I had to call her a couple weeks in advance to make plans with her because she was always so booked up with other friends and family. Everyone wanted to spend time with her. We loved shopping in Old StCharles and then having cocktails and lunch or dinner. My life was so much richer having Kathy as my wonderful friend. I will miss her so much.
