6/15/23 - I met Kathy just a few years ago in the lobby of Kauffman Center in Kansas City, Missouri. There was a concert for a 1960's music group and we sat at the same small table with refreshments. We just hit it off! I had arrived with a group from Gladstone MO but she had an extra ticket that her aunt didn't use so she asked me to sit with her.
That was the beginning of wonderful late night phone calls that lasted at least an hour each time. We shared about our grandchildren and our pups. She always had this sweet and cheery Southern drawl that was endearing. We did chat before this final trip where she had such a challenging time. She was very excited to go with her friend! We kept in touch via text and many prayers were said. I am very, very sad to hear of Kathy's death and will always remember her friendliness and openness.
