I remember Kathy when she lived on Winslow St, in Lancaster. She was our neighbor. I was just a kid. I was one of the Day children. She was a great person. My prays go out to her family. May she RIP

We were so sorry to learn of Kathy's passing. I so enjoyed her phone calls connecting with the Maine family and sharing news of the McGraw Tribe. She had a beautiful and loving spirit. May you be comforted in the days ahead.
