My sweet aunt. This just isn’t real. You stood by my side and supported my decisions when no one else did. You loved me as your daughter and were the best grandmother to the boys. They loved there Grammy Kathy. No more pain, stress, and sickness. You are right there with the two best parents you could have ever had. You guys celebrate the reunion and watch over us. You will never know what you meant to ashton, myself, kamdyn, and braelyn. Until we meet again, I know you are the prettiest flower there. ❤️
