My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I met Kathy from going to her house to do Monday night ceramics with my sister-in-law. I enjoyed her expertise and fellowship.

Kathy is a distant cousin of mine.
Many years ago (1978) my two older sisters, Kathi & Laurie & myself would drive over to Kathy's house to do ceramics. I still have some of that stuff. Kathy was so much fun to be around and a wonderful person. We had alot of fun at the Black Family Reunions. Our sympathy to her family and friends.
