Just realized that its already been a YEAR since Kathy's passing. All of us who cared for her at CMARC miss her still- her picture hangs proudly in our room, and we talk to her and about her often. Kathy will always be in our hearts...Lisa Carriere

Dear Diane, Marie, and Patti,
I send my deepest sympathy to all of you at this time. Kathy was a special woman and always had a special place within my heart. We had wonderful times with her when she was at Triangle. Although I am unable to attend the services all of you and Kathy will be kept in my thoughts and prayers. She was truly blessed to have such wonderful sisters. God Bless you with the graces you need at this time. With much Love Marie Puggi

Dear Marie, Diane and Patty,
I will never forget the fun we had with Kathy. She always made me laugh. She had a great personality and had three great sisters to always look after her. God Bless Her.
