Kathy was a wonderful friend and yard buddy always had a smile on her face and loved flowers and her yard. Every day when i go outside im reminded of her. My heartfelt sympathies to her family. Thanks for being a wonderful neighbor
I am so sorry for your loss. I grew up knowing Kathy when I went to school with her sister, Marcia, and then when we had kids that went to school together. We served on many card party committees together. Our prayers are with you all.
I am so sorry to hear of Kathy’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with her and the Cain family, especially her children. She was a wonderful woman.
