I miss Kathy and our long conversations. She was a great friend and confidante. I can’t believe she won’t be at our birthday and holiday parties, but I know she will be there in spirit, and our friendship will live on.

It’s difficult to believe this beautiful lady has left us. I got to know Kathy when she came into the Custer Store after work in the afternoons. She always had an upbeat, cheerful personality. She had a lot of pride in her community and her family. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
