I am so sorry for your great loss!
Kathy was a beautiful soul and will be a gorgeous Angel!! I bet her at Barb and Mike's house and I was wearing. A GIANTS necklace and she loved it. I took it off my neck and gave it to her! She was so excited she literally jumped for joy...it made me so happy to see her so happy. She loved the GIANTS! That is my sweet memory of Kathy! Sending prayers for healing.
