I went to school with her kids Goerge and Mike. I've known this family since I was in Jr. High. I even worked at Rosewood when I was a teen. Kathy trained me and shown me how she wanted things done and always smiled when she told me how things were to be done. After I left there as a customer she still treated me with the same kindness she gave me when I worked for her. I moved to Oklahoma for 22 years and have been back in Indiana for almost 4 years and when me and my best friend Stan Rhodes have gone in there to eat it still felt the same. I love y'all and I'm so sorry for this loss of a wonderful mother, friend and teacher. My thoughts and prayers r with y'all! I love u!
