Dear Kathy, 1970 seams like so long ago. I can still see your smile, hear your laugh, and see the Twinkle in your eyes. You still hold a place in my heart after all these years. We lost you way too soon.

The woman who's that song was for must have been very special. As a man, I can assure you no matter our age, we all have a 'Katy' hiding, dwelling, in the back of our minds, and dear to our heart. May we never forget them.

For hours, they are just gentle on our minds, to coin a phrase. Thank you, Jimmy Webb. And Paul Simon. Is she the same Kathy that was on the bus in America? Kathy is the anti -Karen.

As a Cathy, I heartily approve this lovely song. My brother has dedicated this song to me in the past. Quite an honor. The only other song I know is "Cathy's Clown" which is about an utter ditch witch. Thank you, Paul Simon. And yes, I know who the real Kathy is, that only makes this song more beautiful.

wonderful, it inspires me to write lyrics to this tune :- i see the days go by and smile with faith that expels all distress walking the path, viewing each mile with hope in One, to stand this test it s gratitude that helps me on for on this journey i address all wondrous blessings here or gone intriguing meanings of this quest to those who ve walked this path before i long to see you filled with joy in the sweet gardens of the Lord in happiness that does not cloy as i go on and lose all doubt i hope that folk will know what s true seen from within, beauty without watch when the Lord makes all things new so as i raise my eyes again and as i glance across the sky i m like a link in a human chain where thanks to Grace from God go i

@@karenharris3183 The best thing to do at a time like this is gather around the graves and instead of mourning the loss just thank the Lord for the time you were able to spend with them. I was born into a family of eight and now there is only me and my sister left. My parents and four brothers died years ago. All of their graves are in different states.
