I was so saddened to read about Kathy. She was one heck of a strong, caring, and compassionate woman. I enjoyed being her caregiver. She taught me a lot from her own experiences. I will remember the few times she took me driving in her golf cart, going out to lunch, and her loving the casino. She was more then a client, she was also my friend.
