This picture of Kathleen captures her light spirit perfectly. I had the priviledge of being a close friend for a number of years. I remember one day at coffee with Kathleen and another friend the talk had turned to 'worries', and I said "What ever happened to trusting in God". Well, several years after that day, any time I was 'worried', Kathleen would smile and ask "whatever happened to trusting in God". Then we would both laugh out loud. She was a very caring and generous person; it's sad that she is gone.
Willie, Maureen, Margaret, Colleen, Patrick, and James, I am praying for you and your families. God bless you.

I will forever miss you my friend. I have yet to meet anyone who made me laugh so hard. Will cherish all the fun times we had in High School & will miss hearing your phone calls that always made me smile. Save a seat up there for me. Love you xoxo Mindy

Kathleen, you were such a big part of my life I hardly know what to say. It was also one of the saddest days of my life to hear of your passing. I will miss everything about you. Your sense of humor, your strength and courage during the dark days, your smile and laughter and of course all the good times we shared at work and play (trips). I will never forget you!!! Lots of love Gary
