most of you didn't know me way back in high school. one person who did was kathy shelton. she was there in the yearbook room many days that i was hiding from the typical high school drama one goes through involving boys and best friends. we were both yearbook nerds. since i was there, we swapped stories and learned a lot about oneanother with sublime (her) and poole (me) on the cd boombox. we had this saying that she wrote in my yearbook and as a myspace comment: "poole is cool." after high school we didn't really keep in touch, but through the magic that is friendster and myspace, a couple of years ago she added me as a friend. it was so great to see her happy since she had found and married chris. i hadn't seen her for maybe 5 years, but still, her being gone doesn't feel good.

i just went back and read a meme she had done a couple of days before she died:

" 66} Are you waiting on something right now?
yes, my vacation to start "

jarrod, a person i do not know, who was a close friend and roommate of kathryn and her husband chris, wrote this eloquent blog entry about her.
