Kathryn Kludy, Wil's mom, passed away early Saturday morning after an almost year-long battle with cancer. She was a fiercely independent and vibrant person. She ran her own upholstery business, worked for the Memorial Union in Madison, loved sailing and being an active part of her community.
There are never any words that can express the true loss of a loved one. Memorials are always full of milestones and events, but it's the quiet conversations and loving smiles and small familiarities that make a relationship. And it is the loss of those everyday things that makes this so painful.
Kathy was a strong and passionate person. She was greatly loved and will be greatly missed.
Peace be with you, Kathy.
