Lundy said a day of activities aimed at bringing people together to have fun is something Katherine would have wanted. "I knew Katherine for almost nine years.

She was the kindest, most beautiful person I knew both inside and out," said Lundy. "The big reason this group of friends started the event was because she was all about her boys and all about friends, both her own friends and friendships the boys had. Those were her priorities so we just figured this event would really be something she would have loved as it will bring all of her friends and her kids' friends together."
