I am so sorry to hear about Kathy’s death. In the past couple years we had not kept in touch much so it was quite shocking to read about it. Kathy & I became dear friends in 1982. We were both going through a rough time and became a support for each other. We went on our first cruise together in 1985…so much fun. Many memories over the years. Loved her
So very sorry to learn about Kathy’s passing. Thanks so much for posting in Sioux Falls paper. Was sad when you left Sioux Falls because you and Kathy were more than good customers, you were friends. Kathy was responsible for my husband and I getting the house we bought and loved for 26 yrs and our younger daughter, Hollie, worked for Kathy at the day care! My sincere prayers and sympathy to you, Larry, and the whole family. I know she will be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers. Kathy was our daycare person for nine years. She loved my two girls like they were her own.
