From the time we moved into our condo and met Kathy and Duane, we connected with this special couple . . . and discovered Kathy had a joy and exuberance for life that was delightful to be around. Kathy and Duane shared a special love that continued throughout all her ups and downs that cancer brought with a determination to reach for all life could give, and marveled all who knew them , , , a life well lived that will be missed.

I graduated with Kathy and was also a fellow employee at CCH.
I remember all the extra help she gave us in Central Supply, unloading cases of IV'S when it was not her job.
She was always so hardworking and such a caring person.
My prayers go out to her family and loved ones...
