"So Sorry to hear about Kathys passing. Fond memories of when I was a young girl , and staying at Aunt Virginia and Uncle Richards house during summer break. Kathy and I would play together, shopping trips, go to gma and gpa Yaddofs house or went on some family camping trips to Strawberry Point and Backbone Park. Deepest Sympathy to Karla and family. "
