On April 24, 2010, a tragic accident took one of our own HSA softball players.  Our Flags will be held at half mast in mourning and remembrance of Kadye Anne Cooper.  After graduating in the top 10% of her class from Ross S. Sterling High School in Baytown, Tx in 2007, Kadye began classes at the University of Texas in Austin. She majored in Spanish and Linguistics, hoped to continue to law school and eventually become a judge. While at UT, Kadye played on the Campus’ Club Rugby team and had recently been awarded a position on the 2010 All-Star Rugby team. She also played co-ed softball, a sport that she had played and enjoyed since age 7, tutored local high school students, and worked part-time jobs while keeping up her studies. To be exposed to different cultures, Kadye was looking forward to a trip to Italy this summer to attend classes there. Kadye was a beautiful person who never met a stranger and loved life. Her passing will leave an empty space in the lives of those who knew and loved her.  There will be a memorial service held at Second Baptist Church in Highlands, Tx on Saturday, May 1st at 1:00 pm with Rev. Beau Rosser officiating. Words of comfort may be shared with the family at www.hixsonfh.com.
