To Randy Sr, Randy Jr, Mark, Ryan, Kris and all the "daughters" - My heart is breaking for all of you at the loss of a VERY SPECIAL LADY!!! Kathy was not only a true friend but she was my second mother. She always made me laugh with her spirit!!! I will never forget when we were bowling next to one another and all of sudden she was hopping over to my alley!!! I looked at her like she was nuts. But between her and I it was an inside joke that I will never forget!!! That is what I will remember about her the most. She always had a smile on her face and was always a happy person. I will always be looking up to the sky for the bright star because that will be her with my mom. They will be having one hell of a party!!! RIP KO!!!! I love you with all of my heart and will miss you at bowling!!! Until we meet again!!!!

I had the pleasure of getting to know Kathy through the Meals on Wheels site the Village of Sherwood's Community Center. She was incredibly passionate about her work with the County - gifting her time and efforts for Calumet County's citizens for 15 years. She was an asset to the program and touched many people's hearts. She will be gravely missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to her friends and family.
