I went to grade school with Kathy and lived across the street from her back then. I lost touch with her many years ago, but I have some good childhood memories of her. Prayers for the family.

I knew your time was coming , but on our talks in the morning and our texts you were always worried about how i was doing. I was the one that was scared for you, and you blew it off like you had it all taken care of like you always did when we were young. I wish we could of went to lunch before you left, but with all that was going on with the Covid 19 and crap i didn't want anything else to make you leave any faster. You are one strong person i known and wish you could of fought this but God had other plans for you. I will miss you my friend very much, and i find myself wanting to text you in the morning to check on you. Safe a rocking chair for me next to you so we can rock together like we planned. I love you Kathy!
