Kansas City, MO Friday, March 11, 2011 I am very sorry to hear the news about Dathine. She was a wonderful person and one who stood by me in the worst of times, offering her support when many others turned their heads. That is simply the kind of person she was and I am thankful and blessed to have known her. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers.Kay & Gary Crook
