> comments = I am truly sorry to hear of Kathy's
passing.  In the early 80's, I had returned to
school, and discovered that I had an allergy to
my roommate's cats, which she promptly helped
me with by giving me a 'fair' number of benadryl
pills.

> However, I will always remember her vivacious
smile, lovely personality, and general demeanor
that she so unselfishly gave to those of us who
needed it.

> She was not a diamond in the rough, but the
HOPE DIAMOND of health care, with platinum
flowing in her veins.

> God Bless you, Kathy!
