Aaron, Jeff, Christina and family- the Hunters are all very sad to hear about Kathy. I feel like Jeff and Kathy were second parents to me in jr.high and high school. Kathy was always fun, kind and loving. I feel like we all lost a great soul here on earth but I am confident that she is waiting for us all to be reunited in Heaven. Again, Jennifer, Bob, Susan and I all are saddened to hear the news and love your family.

Jeff and family: My memories of Kathy go back to St. Peter's grade school. We recently reconnected on social media, and I tried to see her in May, but she wasn't available. She was a wonderful person and she will be missed. You have my deepest condolences.
