She reminisced on how her now late her husband treated her to a surprise party in 2023.

Dressed in a stylish black dress and matching kimono, Kathy fought tears as she remembered her husband.

"This is a surprise, and I would like to say thank you, and I acknowledge all of you. It has been a difficult time, and you have made it so much better for me because of your love and grace. I don't take it for granted. And yes, I will definitely enjoy this birthday.
