I still can't quite believe she is gone. It slips up on me in quiet moments, because she wasn't someone I saw every day. I knew Kathy for better than twenty years, and who I loved dearly, but she wasn't a part of my day-in-day-out life. Kathy was so very warm and welcoming, but she could also hold people at a distance. It was just her way. I always felt like maybe I wasn't quite good enough to be part of her Inner Circle, but then I would see her and all that would go away. Once, at a Conestoga years ago, she asked me to lunch, and for like an hour it was just the two of us at Goldy's talking about this and that. It's one of the memories of her I cherish the most

I haven't been able to put it into words either, but I think you've done an admirable job here, and I am glad that you did.
I like that bit about somedays. We should try to help folks toward a someday, if we possibly can.
I will second pretty much everything Sargon said above, and add that I am sorry I've been uncommunicative and that it's taken me so long to respond to this post. It's hard thinking about it and putting it into words, it's hard to know what to say. So I'll just say I heard you, and that I miss you too.
