Kathryn was a beautiful person that I had the honor of knowing. She never came to her appointment with me empty handed. She brought me protein bars, water, candy, coupons, great news paper articles and always a hug. Her love for her family and animals was one of her many amazing qualities. My deepest sympathies to her family and friends. Renee’ Grotheer.
