I sat near Kathy for a few years at AA, she would give me a ride home when ever my car tore up and that was often. She was one of a kind, she wore her quirks as a badge of honor. She was as kind as she was proud, you crossed her you needed to make it right with her, she was no one’s fool. She was also the first one to help out, offer kind words, or add some honesty when it was needed. She was someone I thought of often after I left American Airlines, she was a great Person.
Today you would've celebrated your 90th birthday. It's really sad without you here we're still trying to cope after losing you. We know that you will always love us and be there watching us from above. Joann left not too long ago also so maybe you guys are having fun today together on your special day. We miss and love you forever and our hearts still grieve with you. Please always shine bright in heaven as you did here on Earth.
I took my mom on a few trips. We went to Spain and Argentina together. My mom spoke Spanish, but they couldn't understand her. I ended up having to speak Spanish for her. She was shocked to realize that her shy little girl would talk to complete strangers on the train who were speaking English. These guys showed us around Segovia Spain, and helped us get to where we needed to be. In Argentina, I thought she would have an easier and more enjoyable experience if we just did a bus tour. She was not a happy camper when they wouldn't let her sit on the bus during stops. I love that we were able to travel together thanks to her career with American Airlines.
