Kathy, everyone knew how much I loved you and cared about you, and I’m just so sorry that no one cared enough or thought enough to let me know of your passing. You made me feel so loved and welcome when David and I would come down to visit. I know with your kind, beautiful heart, that you are in Heaven and at peace and pain free. I will always cherish the times I got to spend with you. You and one other sister in law were the only ones that made me feel welcome into that family and I will always cherish your memory. You were one of a kind and there will never ever be another you, so go rest high on that mountain my sister in love. Rest in Peace.
