I knew Kathy during my four years at Stanford and two years post-graduation when I worked at the Palo Alto First Methodist Church. I will just second all that AJ has said, and I can just hear that heavenly choir of all those loved ones who have crossed over. Thanks for the happy memories and harmonic sounds.
I was lucky enough to grow up with the Reese family and to have many great times with Kathy over the earlier years of my life. What a wonderful, warm person she was and how good she was with granting space, understanding and support to kids growing up the turbulent '60's. We were all a bit nutty then, but Kathy didn't waiver in her love and encouragement to all of us. She was a great friend of my mother and father's, and though she left the Bay Area she stayed in touch with calls and visits over the last years of my parents' lives. I can hear her laughter, her absolutely raucous and hilarous sense of humor, and also her kind and caring words when they were needed. And I can see her standing in the choir, singing her heart out. She was really someone special. I know that her family knows this, but she loved them all very much and was terrificaly proud of each child and grandchild. I am so very glad she was part of my own life. My love to Sue, Karen, David and Kevin-- thinking of you all, and knowing that somewhere out there, there is a heck of a good choir with Dave, Kathy, Conn, Pat, Bart and Barb, Howie, Eileen, Marge-- they are probably raising the roof! Fondly, AJ
