I am saddened by this news. Kathy was such a vibrant part of our little town. I best remember her quick smile and infectious giggle. She supported the fire department with honest care and determination. She loved her family and was especially proud of you, Tammy. You and the rest of the family will be in my thoughts as you thread your way through this. I wish you strength and peace. Kathy's passing kind of marks the end of an era for the little town we grew up in and she will be missed.

My condolences to Tammy, Stanley, and all of Kathy´s extended family. I remember fondly our times playing together as childhood friends growing up in Conway. There was a sweetness and innocence about Kathy that I will always remember.

We met in the first grade at Conway Grammar and both struggled for acceptance by rowdy kids; Kathy-quiet; me-loud. Would like to send Stanley and Tammy cards but need addresses. Hope this "message" reaches them: Remember death is a moment when the spirit leaves the body to move on. Kathy's body (which you bury) was not Kathy. It's her spirit we remember.
