It's been a year since we lost you and I am unable to face the finally this message represents.Still my heart is ripped in two.
One half can not possibly imagine life going on without you. Why is the Sun still shining, the Earth still spinning? How do we all move forward without your indomitable spirit to inspire us. I don't know how to live the rest of my life without you to share the good times and face the hard times.
In the other half I am grateful that you are at peace. Happy you are finally free. Free of the constant uphill battle. Free of the fear and uncertaintainty. Free of the anguish of leaving your children and grandchild, your family and friends. Free of your diminishing ability to cope with daily life. Free of the pain.

I know you're still with me and I'll do all I can to make you proud.
I Love you! I will Miss you until we meet again.

Merry Christmas with our Love. The first of many that will never be the same without you. Your infectious, irrepressible and somewhat annoying Holiday Good Cheer brought smiles to all who knew you. We Love you & miss you!

I will miss you always. You were a wonderful sister-in-law (more like a sister) to me. The last 5 years of your life were extremely difficult for you. As I had told you often you handled it with Style and Grace. I have many memories of our times together, the fun times and the hard times. I was honored when you called me in 2008 to help you then and since. Since I have known you (33 years) you were always a strong woman and you were strong until God took you Home. Kathleen I will love you always and you'll forever be in my prayers.

I remember Kathy from our days at Lindy High. What a beautiful, fun person...full of love and life...I have not seen her for many years but remember her fondly...that in itself says so much, as she has touched my life with wonderful memories. Her family will be in my daily prayers...life is precious and fragile..beyond life is to be treasured....

From all descriptions, Kathy, you led a full life that most people can only imagine; your brave and valiant fight is an inspiration to all of us.

Mrs Borzello was a devoted teacher to me in Middle and High School. She was a second mother to me. I wouldn't be the person I am today because of her. Even though we lost touch I always thought of her. She is truly an angel!

OH! My Dear Kathy......to your family...my sadness. How we used to talk about my son Doug and all the years that we worked together with the Band.
