My dear little sister - you were so strong and so brave. You always put others first and I thank you for always keeping in touch with me. Tim and Matt, I mourn your loss and thank both of you for being there for her when we could not. Her loving bro, Chuck.

My cousin, Kathy- Although we haven't seen each other in a long time, I remember being together as kids. Be it on Wishart st, Hurley st, Saul st or Palmyra NJ ( which to me was like living in the country). We always enjoyed visiting your house. Your Mom and Dad always made us feel welcome. And of course your smile lit up the room. Always energetic and pleasant, I'm sure your fighting spirit will be missed by many.
Rest easy Cousin.

Kathy was my cousin whom I respected and looked up to in my youth. She was a kind,earthy, considerate and loving soul who made all around her feel loved and nurtured. Although geography separated us for many years I was especially happy that we were able to spend some time together later in life. She will be missed and her memory cherished by my brothers and I. God rest your soul love...

I have fond memories of Kathy, beginning during her days as a new mother nursing her little baby. Our paths crossed again at the Shades Valley Y where we had many a political discussion. She was always a very dear lady!
