My families deepest sympathies are with my Aunt Kathy's husband and children. I fondly remember many Christmas gatherings in Des Moines from my childhood and the sweetness of my Aunt Kathy. I know all of my aunts and uncles including my dad (Steve) are devastated by the loss of their beloved sister. Gone but never forgotten!
