I did not know Kathy real well but she did come to our school (EMES)and work with children. She seemed like a real nice person and always had a smile on her face. May she rest in peace and may her family take comfort in knowing that she is out of pain and is among the angels.

Kathy brouhgt sunshine everywhere she went. Her smile always reached her eyes. Her children were so important to her. I first met her at MSA as a parent volunteer when Tori and Nicholas were in kindergargen. She always had Madison and Zach
( in a stroller at that time) with her. She always saw the good in everything and everybody. I can still hear her laugh and see her smile. I really cant say how much I miss her!! But I am glad she is at peace. I LOVE YOU KATHY AND WILL ALWAYS THINK OF YOU. Brigitte Rardin
