15 Dec 2021I worked with Kathy at EPSO in records. My husband died at a young age – 51. Kathy knew I would be in financial straits. She took up a collection for me. It saw me through until I was able to collect life insurance. Also when Paul and her had tickets for the Air Force football game she knew my husband and I would enjoy going and gave them to us.
Rest in peace Kathy – you deserve it!
