Kathy's Family: As a classmate of Kathy's at Broadmoor Elementary, Westdale Jr. High, and Broadmoor High, I have many fond memories of her wit and sense of humor. Many times while driving down Cora Drive, I would often see Kathy in her front yard there in the "S" curve. Through out the years I knew Kathy, I always heard positive comments from her about others and from others about her. Kathy was a good person and a good student and also, a good classmate. As our BHS Class of '63 gather this weekend for our 50 year reunion, Kathy will be remembered in our prayers and conversations. Kathy was a genuine and loving person and I'm sure she will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers with her family during this sad time.
