Longtime Alabama journalist and friend Kathy Kemp passed last night after a nine year fight against cancer.
Words cannot express my sorry at the loss of such a fine writer and such a kind, thoughtful person.
Journalism, and all of Kathy's many friends and family members are all poorer this morning.
The online story at al.com includes links to samples of her fine work.
Rest in peace, my friend.
I am very sad to hear the news. I always looked for Kathy Kemp's column in the Birmingham News. She often talked about what was happening in town, and I figured anything that she had say was important for me know about. I met her on a couple of occasions. She was a warm, kind and generous soul.
ReplyDeleteDitto. I lived in Vestavia Hills for nine years before moving here, and I always looked forward to her column.
