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!!!!

She was incredibly passionate about her work with the County - gifting her time and efforts for Calumet County's citizens for 15 years.
