In the fifty years or more I have known Kathie we have shared many wonderful times and laughter. I know she is in a better place, we both accepted Christ in the same summer as kids and were baptist together. I will miss her and I wished I could have said goodbye for now to my friend.

My prayers and thoughts are with you, Cody and the entire family, she was a wondeful friend through many years.
