I clearly remember the night she was born at St. Mary's Hospital here in Madison. My grandpa Day took me, Sandy, brother Mike to hospital parking lot. City at the time, did fireworks display at Vilas park zoo by lake Wingra we all sat there and watched the fireworks as she was being born. Our little fire cracker, Kathy. I love my dear sister Kathy.

My favorite memory is working the Saturday Steak Frye at the Grieg Club. Kathy would be tending bar when I came in and said there's my girl now I can relax. Will miss you Kathy.

I was sad to hear of Kathy's passing. Surprised to find out that she and Maxine shared the same birthday. With my deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to the family.
