Herb & Donna & Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Kathy's passing. She is now free of cancer and pain. It was so good to talk to her at your anniversary celebration this past year. I have so many fond memories of our years in 4-H and showing calves. I know Kathy will be greatly missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
