December 14, 2022 at 11:53 pmI am so saddened by the news of Kathy’s passing. Kathy was my absolute best friend growing up. We had countless sleep overs, every summer day in her pool, blasting New Kids on the Block and talking on the phone in my room for hours to boys. Not only was Kathy my best friend, but her entire family was my 2nd family. I loved going to their house and seeing and being apart of the fun of 2 orders sisters and a younger brother. My memories of Kathy and the entire Kanane family are instilled in me forever. Kathy will be forever in my heart.
