And all the others that were close to Kathryn. We all have many, many amazing memories and she will always be in our hearts.
When I first met Kathryn, I knew she was a special lady and she was in the process of opening a new chapter as so was I. We became best friends immediately.
Sometimes in life you will meet someone that will change your life, Kathryn did that for me.
We explored together holding hands. Our conversations were the best no matter where we were at in the world.
She loved doing projects and she was great at it!! We planted flowers together. We remodeled our homes and decorated together. I had great joy watching her as we finished and seeing her beautiful smile.
She supported me when I playing golf on tour. She loved traveling with me to beautiful golf resorts and hanging out with the other players in competition. She cheered for me when I tee'ed off and she was waiting for me on the 18th green when I came in.
One day, I bought the golf cart from my client Sandy. Kathryn went with me to pick it up. We took Sandy dinner. After, we loaded the golf cart and was in the truck headed home. Kathryn asked: Is this my golf cart? I said yes. She also asked: Is it going in my garage? I said yes!
It's those special moments I will always remember.
Together we would then drive to McDonald's in the golf cart on date nights to get an ice cream cone. Creating more memories
Other times, in our car we would take a just a short drive up to our ranch in Wickenburg. Kathryn loved our pets and animals. (goats, chickens, horses, dogs and cats.) Horse Kailua would give Kathryn a big hug everytime. She new Kathryn was sick and it would make me cry everytime saw that.
Also, I can't forget to mention our big beautiful cat Rafiki. Her name means Friend in Swahili. She older now, and as beautiful as ever. Kathryn loves you Rafiki forever!
Kathryn, suggested and submitted the name Rafiki to Phoenix Zoo when the new born Masai Giraffe was born. JUNE 26, 2018 the public voted and named it Rafiki.
After, we left Oregon and came to Arizona we made so... many great memories. Kathryn loved our blended family of kids. My three kids (Randall, Crystall and Michael), and her daughter Kristen., All together, we would spend time just having fun and making memories. Kathryn truly loved our Arizona family experiences.
Kathryn and I, also adored our two grand babies Charlie and Carmella. We loved Christmas season with them at the Fairmont Princess in Scottsdale
As most of you know, Kathryn and I had a big vacation planned to visit the UK. First, travel to Southern England and see her brother and then north St. Andrews for golf. It will have been 21 years since Kathryn and Andy seen each other.
The trip was postponed, changed and altered. However, Kathryn was unable to go.
Thankfully, Andy was able to come to the states to see Kathryn. His first visit to the states. He spent a week with her before she passed. Glad he was here.
She was granted her wish to see her brother. He is an amazing gentleman and I look forward to having a beer with my brother -in law in England again soon. Cheers Andy!!
Friends and Family, thank you for loving Kathryn ❤️!!!
I am missing Kathryn tremendously and I know you all are too.
Thank you from all of us!!! Please keep in touch.
