I am so saddened to learn of Kathy's passing. We worked and roomed together in Arlington VA in the early 1970's. She was the most compassionate and loving person I've ever met in my life. One dash of black pepper okay ... two dashes is too hot. (smile) Though we lost touch after she married Roy, she was never forgotten by me. I remember how hard it was for you when you lost Patrick. (I know a mother's grief.) I've shared our adventures with my kids. You're gone Kathy but I will always love you! Hugs ...
