I am saddened to hear that Kathy has passed away. You all have my deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers. I had the privilege to bowl with Kathy for a few years till she got sick. She was a neat gal and we enjoyed knowing her. I am sorry I cannot come to her services as I am up north at the lake and I also have a graduation party up there that day. Again, my sympathies.
