I moved to Virginia from California and met Kathy thru the Jaycees. Our then husbands were members. Some of the women in the group were not kind to me and I was terrified. Kathy decided that this would not fly, took me under her wing and called Bulls**t on everyone. She saved me. I have a son, Aron, who is Kippy’s age and we all hung out. Had parties and became fast friends. Kathy and I sang in Jaycee talent contests and she put on a play of the Wizard of Oz and cast me as the wicked Witch! This cracked everyone up! I think she was Dorothy. I came back to California, got divorced and we eventually lost touch. A few years ago, I found her on Facebook. I was so happy. The years we missed melted away and we picked up where we left off. She was an amazing person who will never know that what she did for me so many years ago meant so much. To her family, I am so sorry for your loss. She will never be forgotten. She was one of a kind.
