kathy you will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to your kids who I know will miss you greatly. Your time here was too short but I take some solace in knowing that you are in a better place and are free of your earthly limitations. You are now your families guardian angel and you will live on in your beautiful children and in all of our memories.

with LOVE your cousin Dawn Spataro
