My heart is broken. I can't believe that Kathy is gone, Bruce & Tara. We had such wonderful memories together, laughing, crying and everything in between. Our friendship meant the world to me and the memories will live in my heart forever. I would be there if I didn't live in Mississippi now. Know that I love you both with all my heart and I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

Kathy ❤️ You were my sister the moment we met, my older sister! There was so much laughter, so many memories and so much fun. Whether we were playing cards, going to car shows or going to Vegas. I miss you and will love you forever and always. Watch out for duck feet 🤪
