Dear Moe, Kim, David, Anthony, Deanna, and all of Kathy's family.
Jess and I want to tell you how much we enjoyed our friendship over the years. Our trips to Graeagle for golf adventures with the Sac Par 3 were ever so much fun!
Kathy was very special to us. She was a true blue friend, member of my Mary Kay team, and golfing buddy, even if she did beat me every time! We enjoyed our shopping adventures and lunches out. Kathy could spot a bargain from a mile away!
Kathy - Maybe now that you're in heaven, you will enjoy beef before it turns to shoeleather!
Mr. Moe - We are thinking of you and sharing in your sorrow.
Love, Diana & Jess
Moe, Kathy, Jess, Diana at Graeagle
