The journey of life is a peculiar one. We all have ups. We all experience downs. Strangers become friends. Friends become strangers. But one of the most remarkable gifts that my journey of life has blessed me with is when strangers become family. If you’ve experienced this then you know how much of a blessing and gift this relationship is. Cherish these bonds. When I first met Dan and Kathy, I was trying to help their husky named Storm. Little did I know that not only will Storm become part of my family, but Dan and Kathy also would become family to me. I’m beyond grateful that our paths have crossed. I got to experience Kathy’s bright personality. She always knew how to make me smile, even on the days that I was fighting back tears. Her hugs always seemed to heal the broken parts of me. Her laughter was contagious. It would echo off the walls and instantly put a smile on your face. But the way Kathy loved, was a gift itself. I have never met such a loving, caring , nurturing, beautiful soul like Kathy’s . Right now we all feel the pain from losing such a pure and beautiful soul. But I pray when you close your eyes you see her beautiful bright smile. I pray when you hear someone laugh , you remember the way Kathy’s laugh would bring a smile to your face. I pray when you miss her presence that you can feel her hug hold you tight. Kathy’s memory will live on through all of us who had the honor of loving her.
