Kathy and I went to, and graduated from, Marion High School together. We shared many classes and were friends in school. I remember a bright, funny, down to earth, friendly girl who was always there with a helping hand or lending support. I am sure she will be missed greatly by her family and close friend, my sincerest condolences.

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there.I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet white doves in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there,I did not die. My spirit is still alive. -Marey E. Frye.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't believe it. I remember hanging out at the house and dancing or just being crazy and she always laughed at us and told us we were funny or crazy... or even just being too loud! I cherish all of those times! My thoughts and prayers are continually with you guys. Stay Strong!
