Upon entering heaven Kathy was immediately put in charge of teaching all the other women advanced classes in shopping. Men in heaven here is your fair warning. Hang on to your wallets very tightly. When Kathy gets done teaching your women how to shop you are going to experience shopping tricks and techniques like you have never seen before. In her spare time, she will be teaching craft and decorating classes. Kathy is an expert in those fields as well. Good luck folks you better build bigger houses. - We would like to acknowledge Summit Cancer Care, Providence Visiting Nurses, and Hospice of Spokane for their valiant efforts to prolong Kathy’s life in a quality and painless fashion. All three organizations did a wonderful job. - Kathy wishes donations be made to Hospice of Spokane rather than a gift of flowers.
