Joyce Ventura wrote a sympathy message

“My sincere condolences to Kathy's family. Her passing is such a sad loss for everyone. I met her 10 years ago when she started the Cloak & Dagger mystery books club. In the beginning it was mostly just four of us regulars. Over the years its popularity grew and now we may see 15 or more mystery sleuths each month. Kathy had a quick wit and always made us laugh. I will treasure our time together.”
