Kathy was my best friend from kindergarten through college. She visited me in CA about ten years ago and we made sure to call on each of our birthdays. We grew up together and I have so many memories— fun, happy, some sad, and some outrageous! She was always ready for a good laugh.
I miss her. She’s gone too soon and I love her always. Kathy, rest in peace.
Until the last couple of years, Kathy, Billie, Connie and I would get together as co-workers and share what was going on in our lives. It was always a fun, uplifting time. It was good "girl" time.
Kathy also met with me on a regular basis when I was laid off back in 2012. It meant the world to me. Kathy was a great person.
