Kathy will be a great loss to the family and yet I can't help reflecting on the difference she made in so many lives. She truly used the saying to make a difference wherever you walk because you shall not travel this way again. John reminded me that she and I read "The Giving Tree" in second grade and I don't know who cried more the kids or us. I remember being so grateful knowing that my son John was with the Cardens because they took care of him like their own. I know that as you see these young men you can see her impact. Keep these memories alive and share with those grandchildren.
