Yesterday, our beautiful, strong, and fiercely loving Kathy—our mom, wife, & Gigi, the heart of our family—passed away suddenly & unexpectedly. Kathy touched the lives of everyone with her warmth, humor, and big-hearted spirit. She was the glue that held us together, the first to show up with a hug, a helping hand, or a Woodford Reserve Manhattan, on the rocks, not too sweet. She made even the simplest moments feel like a blessing. While our hearts are forever broken, we take comfort in knowing she has been reunited with her beloved son Rudy, surely sharing stories and watching over us all. We are raising funds to help cover final expenses and to give Kathy the two final life celebrations she deserves, one in St. Louis and one in Chicago. Our goal is to honor her wonderful legacy with love, laughter, and the coming together of all those she touched. Any contribution is appreciated, and we are deeply grateful fwillor your love, support, and prayers.
