I was so shocked, devastated & saddened to have heard of Kathy’s passing! I’ve known her & Bob for at least 20 years from The Bank (BOC)....Kathy was the sweetest, kindest, and oh so funny. So, to think I won’t see her again...just breaks my heart. My deepest sympathies to her family and friends who I know are numerous. I can only hope Bob met her at The Pearly Gates with a nice cold one, and the danced off together in peace. ❤❤
