Kathy was a wonderful Christian woman. It was an honor and pleasure to share many Sunday morning’s with Rick and Kathy during Sunday School at Prospect Baptist Church. She was always smiling and we had such a wonderful time studying God’s word. Sad she is not with us but there must be such Joy in Heaven right now.
