My deepest sympathy to Kathryn's family. I first met Kathryn quite a few years ago at a Pro Link Conference. From then on we became golfing buddies each year we connected at the conferences. I always looked forward to seeing her. We had a funny experience one year when Kathryn got into the cart to drive off. Somehow she turned the wheel the wrong way ending up in the dessert waste area! We all screamed as she ran into one of the pricker bushes. Once we found she was okay, Kathryn and I could not stop laughing. Of course I drove the golf cart from then on! Rest in peace - I know you are playing golf with the angels - just don't drive the cart.

To the family of Kathryn, our deepest condolences. She was a valued member of our professional association. More than that, she was a caring individual who made everyone around her feel important. She lit up a room (and sometimes a dancefloor) upon entering and brought such energy and love of life to all. We will miss her dearly and keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Risotti Family, It's difficult to express my sadness over losing Kathryn. We worked together for more than fifteenth years but she was much more than just my co-worker. During those years we became friends and shared our tears and our joys as only good friends can. I will miss her many kindnesses. God speed my Friend.

Kathy and I were best friends back in our adolescent years, and I wouldn't trade that for anything. Her philosophy seemed to be do the next right thing. She was a class act all the way. Beautiful, caring, and funny as all get out. Thank you God for putting Kathy in my life. Condolences to her family and friends. She will be fondly remembered always.

This is an example of Kathryn's willingness to do whatever Clean-O-Rama needed to get the job done. Last summer, with one of the hottest days of the summer, Kathryn and I were installing Toilet Tissue dispensers at Phillips Exeter. We were installing in a 5 story dorm with NO elevators. I was installing and she was the gopher, lugging dispensers and paper up and down 5 flight of stairs with no complaints at all. With all the Kathryn's problems and me being 70 years old, it was a day to remember. Whatever was needed she was there.

Kathryn was a great friend and I will miss her greatly!!!!!
