So sorry to hear the passing of Kathy. What a wonderful person she was, I have so many fun memories of her, I will never forget her
You will be missed love ya
Kathy was my backdoor neighbor. Our kids played back and forth for loads of years. She loved my kids like they were her own – and treated them as she did hers. They spent hours in her care when I had to report back to school each fall. It was Kathy that watched my daughter get off the middle school bus each afternoon and made sure she made it across the backyard to our house. I enjoyed our talks – always about raising young children and balancing work and home. She was the ultimate friend; selfless. She will be so incredibly missed! You are loved, Kathy!
So sorry for all of you who loved Kathy and will miss her.
Sending prayers of comfort to all of you.
Kathy always had a smile and helping hand to share! So glad our boys have remained friends throughout and beyond school. You are an awesome Mom! Now rest in peace, sweet lady.
Kathy was a kind person and a great neighbor. She will be missed.
