My sincere condolences to the entire family. I spent limited time with Kathy due to our age difference and her first marriage. I do remember her fondly from the couple of weeks spent each summer with my Bates’ cousins. She was always kind to her Connecticut cousin. I wish the very best to all of her family members and know that you have a relative in Texas that will always welcome you with open arms as part of my cousin Kathy’s family. Prayers for all of you. 🙏 🙏

Praying for you and your family. Malikah brought me into Ms. Kathy’s life and she was such a beautiful soul! I loved her just like she was my own grandma. She was the strongest person I know! Losing a grandmother is not easy but you gain a guardian angel! Love y’all!
