I have yet to meet a person who doesn't think Kathy is one of the best, most decent people they know. When friends have problems, it is often Kathy whom they call first, because they know she will always have time for them, encourage them, and offer good advice.
We have a blended family of four children-two each by a former marriage. The kids respect her as a parent, mentor, and friend. Kathy is also devoted to her mom, who lives nearby and is never too busy to talk with her or run over for a visit.
She has a master's degree in psychology and uses that talent to counsel cancer patients. She serves on the board of directors of our local American Cancer Society (ACS) and helped organize and served as a committee chairman for our community's first "Relay for Life," which raised over thirteen thousand dollars for the ACS. Kathy also volunteers for anything the school asks her to do. She supports her church and depends upon her faith for her strength.
Her creativity is most evident in the ways she shows her love for us all. Often I open my briefcase or suitcase to find a love note or short message of encouragement. The same is true of the kids. If there is some special event, she always makes a big fuss. When they win some event or accomplish a goal they come home to a bedroom bedecked with ribbons or balloons.
Kathy makes every effort to continue the traditional family dinner each evening. No matter how hectic her day, she sees that a healthful meal is on the table, and we sit down together. She garnishes most dishes and sets a formal table in the dining room on a regular basis. All this extra work is done because of two things: she loves her family and she enjoys cooking. If there was a real-life Betty Crocker, she might well be living inside Kathy.
