I remember a Kathy that none of you knew. I remember a four-year-old and the first trip to Disneyland, my first trip, too, and maybe Donnas. Donna, Kathy and I rode together in a tiny boat down a quiet little river, seeing favorites. I remember the wonder and delight on her pretty little face as we passed Mr. Toad's mushroom home as the lights came through the windows at twilight. Must have been well over fifty years ago. May she rest in peace. Love to all, Jean Tolle

I have so many memories with Kathy but I really loved the way she would laugh when I would turn on stand-up comedy shows. Once it was Kevin Nealon and I never heard her laugh cry so hard. I loved to see her with joy and happiness.
