It was such a great pleasure to know Kathy and I sure wish our friendship was not cut so short by life’s circumstances.
I truly loved Kathy, and you. What a breath of fresh air she was, and what an awesome person to be around!
I know she’s now at peace and thoroughly enjoying being free of the encumbrances of a human body.
