You get my point....the building is wonderful and I am sure that congregation appreciates but I doubt her legacy would not stand if the building were to collapse.

Oh, I know that. My point is that Kathy was more than usual; she touched lives far beyond her own. I remember when she was in the stem cell unit that month and I was getting her packed up to finally go home. She literally had cards and letters that covered all four walls floor to ceiling that she had gotten just in that month she was in the hospital. That astounded me; so many people were touched by her life and reached out to her personally. Her Caring Bridge web page was actively followed by over a thousand people and these were not strangers to her; these were people who dearly loved here. She was just that kind of person.
But that little church in El Salvador would have been most special to her. Her trips down there touched her deeply and she and her husband were very actively involved in that mission. She really cared about those children and families who were living in such poverty and would have been most honored to know that their lives and worship were touched very positively as the result of the memorials given by her own loved ones. For her, THAT would have been such a positive and changing impact on their lives and she would have been humbled by being honored by them in such a way.
