I am so sorry to hear of Kathie´s passing! I met her at Metcalf Lab school where her children attended. She was a wonderful mom and friend! She had such a joyful spirit that will stay with me!

Kathie & I met at State Farm in 1982. We connected immediately and picked up where we left off years later. I will miss this dear friend and carry her in my heart, always. Much love and comfort to her beautiful family.
