Not sure what to say?

Prayers and fond memories are what we have to remember our dearly departed. May the love of family and friends comfort you during these difficult days, my most heartfelt condolences. May our Lord bless and comfort you and your family during this time of grief.

Kathleen was a friendly cafeteria lady at Arlington High School. Moreover, she was a helpful volunteer for my legal debate class. One of my students had conceived of a cafeteria "robbery" that could be the subject of a classroom mock court competition, and Kathleen volunteered to help out. With a stack of fake money in the cash register, the robbery took place, and the courtroom drama was so interesting that NBC TV filmed it for viewing on prime time TV. Thus, Kathleen became a TV star...

Our condolences to all of you. Aunt Kathy was someone truly special! She was very much loved and will be dearly missed. And we will carry her love for her in our hearts forever.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time. May your memories bring you joy.
We are prying for you and your family.
