I have such good memories of spending time with Kathy and Daisy. I can still see the balloons rising and lowering, in the corner of the kitchen counter, when wine was being made. We didn’t get to drink any of it.;~ We sat for hours talking and playing cards. Kathy, I miss you and share in your sorrow.
Love Ya,
Daphne

Rest in peace Aunt Daisy! You will be greatly missed!
So sorry for the loss of your mother, Kathy. There is no one like a mother, and your mother was very special. She always took an interest in you and made sure you had the best of everything. When we were in high school, she made the best parties and food for us. I attended several including the pool parties and the after graduation party. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
