Irvinia and I were saddened to hear of Kathy’s passing but excited about her home going!
Kathy was and is a second mom to me. She always looked out for Tom’s friends, because they were important in his life, which meant they were important in hers. Her sense of humor was quick and on point. She will be missed but always loved.
Praying for you Tom, Tom, Angela, Kerry, Kristen, Mike, Mark and all Twiggs/Rossi family during this tonight time.
