Kathy was my neighbor from 6th grade through high school. She lived three doors away, and my first impression of her was a lively, vibrant girl. She always seem to have something she excitedly wanted to tell me. I had trouble understanding her, and she'd always keep repeating and gesturing until I got the message. She showed me what persistence and patience looked like. When I got married, her parents offered to let Chuck's parents stay with them. They were good neighbors. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. I'll always remember her smile.

There was a lady that belonged to St. Thomas Deaf Episcopal Church, which was located in the Grace Episcopal Church in Kirkwood. There was always a sign language person available during our service. After the service we would all go for fellowship and food, not always in that order. Kathy was there with a great smile, but mostly she is remembered for her hugs. There isn't one of my church friends who didn't remember Kathy's "hugs". I would try a conversation, but failed. She would always give me another hug. I felt so bad when she was diagnosed with cancer. It wasn't until I saw her obit that I realized that she was the Kathy from high school. I always admired her at the way she worked on classwork and also other activities. I sure wish I would have known, I'm sure we would have had some great conversations. I know that there is a lesson in there someplace, but that I will discover some other time. Leave a Reply. |
