Kathy Mae (Drinning) Hooks Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Especially when they go too soon. We will cherish our memories together til we meet again. Her favorite scripture was psalms 91. This undoubtedly gave her the courage and strength to face a battle with cancer she chose to keep private. As she did many battles throughout her lifetime, she was an amazing warrior whose strength lives on in our hearts forever.
