I started working for Kathy at age 18 thru 22. She was an amazing boss and person. I was going thru some really hard times with my mother and she was always there for me. I remember one time during my evaluation she said she could tell something was wrong. I broke down in tears and we talked for over a hour about my mom. I will always be grateful for that and everything she taught me. I love you Kathy
