In Loving Memory

Kathy was a true rarity, she truly saw the people who crossed her path, and left a positive imprint on those lucky enough meet her. I feel very fortunate to have been one of them. My thoughts go out to you Alice, Mela and those who are both grieving the loss of Kathy, and also celebrating a life truly well lived.  The song has ended,  yet the melody lingers on...  g.
