I am grateful to have gotten to know her.

Oh how I loved Kathy, one of Mom's very best friends. I loved seeing her in Walmart pharmacy in December before I left again for Africa. You were blessed with a wonderful, huge hearted, loving Mom who passed many struggles with a smile always. She was a stalwart of giving back to the community and an angelic servant of God. I will truly miss her smile, laugh, and warm greetings. Heaven gained another Angel. I’m sure mom and her are laughing together.

Sending our condolences to the family. She truly was an amazing woman. Our thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.
