From a Parents' Perspective

Driving through the Utah salt flats on our way to Omaha just a few weeks ago, our son called us with the horrible news.  He was devastated.  We were devastated.  We couldn't speak for some time as we drove on.

Kathy was an incredibly special person.  As parents of a Stanford baseball player, she was our son's "mom away from home."  She was the kind face and friendly voice when things were tough and the best cheerleader when things were great.  She was our conduit to information...but much more than that she was our friend when we needed help with any old thing, no mater how small or how big, whether on game day or in the fall.

Our prayers and sympathies go out to Kathy's family and to the entire Stanford baseball family.  We have all lost a dear and wonderful friend.  We miss her tremendously.  I cannot imagine what it will be like to not see her at the games next year.

God bless!
