Brandy and Rhonda, I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I remember my babysitting days; I always looked forward to seeing you and your mother. My Mom also passed at the age of 72; it's too soon. I pray she passed away peacefully. I love you both.

I will always see your mouth twitch you had, just before you let out a funny remark ! You and Barb goofing off in my kitchen at the Legion, your too far apart visits here at my home. I will always remember you with your smile, puppy dog looks you gave, and smart remarks. My first thought was I could get even at last if the Preacher (you know!), did your service. You were frustrating, strong willed, funny, kind, a heart of gold, and always reliable ....you were indeed, one of a kind!! You and Barb behave up there..... until we meet again, Kathy. Thank you, for being you.

So sorry for your loss. I can just picture my mom greeting Kathy and immediately needing a good networking debrief. Thinking of you all during this difficult time
