Aunt Kathy

On Monday April 14th, Ryan's aunt Kathy passed away from complications of cancer.  She was uncle John's former wife and mom to cousins Christopher and Kathleen.  A loving and fitting tribute to her life was enjoyed by family and friends yesterday.  As one of her high school friends put it so well, there were many people from many times, places, and parts of Kathy's life who came together to celebrate her.  I am hopeful our family can now come together to support Christopher and Kathleen as they grieve the loss of their mother.   I am thankful Kathy is at peace and out of pain. Kathy clearly touched the lives of many and will be very missed.
