Kathy was a great friend. We were pottery buddies for many years and shared a room at conventions. Lots of great laughs and times were share. I will sure miss her smiling face. May she rest in peace. Love, Diane Hamiltin

Kathy and I both returned to Redford to take care of our parents. I had so much fun renewing our friendship. I enjoyed going out to lunch with her. I loved going to her condo and looking at her beautiful creations. She was so talented and fun to be around.

So sad to loose someone whom I have known all of my life. Our parents were best friends. I am broken hearted but know that she has much catching up to do with her parents and Tim.
