I am so deeply saddened to hear the news of Kathleen's passing. Erin just told me. Kathleen was so nice to Erin since her father died. How blessed Erin was to have had a special aunt like Kathleen. My sincere sympathy to the entire Daly family on this very sad loss.

Dear Ray & family,
Roger & I are very sorry to read of Kathy's death. We did not know she was ill. I knew Kathy for years especially when we were younger and our children were young & we both taught reliegion at St. John's. Over the years we have lost touch with each other. The last time we saw Kathy & you Ray were went we were leaving Kohl's and you were coming into Kohl's. It must have been at least four or more years ago but we often thought of you.
Once again our deepest sympathy. Kathy was special!
Peace & Prayers,
Eleanora Dauphinais
