David, TJ, Julia and little David:

So sorry to hear of Kathy's passing. I have very fond memories of the times I had spent with her. Doing her hair for her wedding, high school reunions, etc. I loved going by her house to spend the day doing haircuts and watching all the kids play together, amidst all the chaos. She was probably one of the sweetest, yet funniest people I have ever met. My deepest sympathies.

A friend for life.

To the Pothier and Harty Families:
Kathy will always be remembered as a warm, caring and loving person. She always had a smile and a warm way of making everyone around her feel comfortable and like family. When I think of Kathy I smile, what a great gift she has given all of us.
