I know Kathy because i worked for Dr. Ravenel many years at St. Francis. I have seen the love they shared over so many years. She was also so kind and thoughtful, as beautiful inside as she was outside. My heart breaks for her lovely family, and especially for Dr. Ravnenel. He so clearly adored her and made her life very happy.
