I'm listing to the song on the memorial site, and the words are saying the feelings, that are in my heart. I look at the Gallery almost every day, some times it brings a smile to my face, other times my face is filled with tears. The smile is for the wonderful times in Kathy's life, the tears are that she no longer is with us. A few month's back when Kathy and I were talking about the fact that her time on earth was limited, I was crying, Kathy's response to me was,"Sandy don't cry I'm going to a better place." I said "Yes I know, but I'm selfish and don't want you to go." At that she chuckled and continued to comfort me. That showed what an ironic woman Kathy was, even near the end of her life, she comforted those she loved. Knowing her time was nearing, she often talked about her children. She was confident that she had given them all,that they needed, to be strong,well adjusted, good people. Yes Kathy, you did your job very well,you should be proud. Kathy and I met in nursing school,we connected right away. We worked together on all labs, projects,study sessions,clicinals, and papers. We were a great team,we worked hard,got good grades,and laughed ALOT! We were the oldest two in the class, but we were determined not to let that stop us, in fact it made us work twice as hard. It was a wonderful time in our lives, times I'll forever treasure in my heart.I loved Kathy, she was kind, caring, giving....a nurse she was meant to be. I do have some stories I'd like to share with all of you, about our times in nursing school.I'll do that sometime in the future, today I'm missing Kathy too much to write more. Kathy i love and miss you, Sandy Olesky
