Bert & Family, We were saddened to hear of your loss of Kathy.
We will miss her and will keep you in our prayers. Kathy was a
sweet and wonderful lady and friend.
I did not get to spend nearly enough time with Kathy-- we had plans to visit the gym together-- and I so, so wish we could have.
She was your sidekick, your best friend, your bud, and your devoted companion-- know how much you will miss her. And know she's free of all limitations now which is comforting. We will all miss her, Bert. Holding you in our hearts.
So very sorry for your loss.
