I am saddened to learn of Kathy’s death . You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
I have wonderful memories of Kathy in grade school with that jet black hair. Kathy knew where she stood even back in grade school and took no prisoners. She was a one of those girls that, once you met her, she left a lasting impression on you. My heart aches for those that are now mourning her. Losing your mother at age 63 is not easy but we rely on God’s promises that He made to her at her baptism and find comfort in the fact that she is now gazing at the Beatific Vision. God bless you all.
