Steve and I extend our condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.
Your mom was a gentle and loving soul, truly a bright light. I fondly remember her "open door" policy as a dozen neighborhood children gleefully ran through the house each summer. I also remember the tremendous kindness and care she gave my mother before she passed. I like to think that they are now sitting side-by-side, smiling down on children and grandchildren, and remembering chaotic and joyful days with children on Margaret Ann Lane.
I hope that time and memories will help lessen your sorrow. Kathleen was indeed an angel from above.
With affection,
Michelle Ward-Brent and family
