Not sure what to say?

My dear Aunt Kathleen, my amazing teacher prior to becoming my aunt. One beautiful day after dropping me off at home my Uncle Bob just happened to be standing in the driveway and said " Hey James, who is that cutie? " And the rest they say is history. For four years she was my music teacher, drama coach, and chorus leader. Most of my best childhood memories come from those four years spent with her. She was the Pied Piper of Powder Mill school. Where she went children followed. You will be...

Bob, I am very sorry about Kathleen’s passing. I have many memories of the both of you at our MS Day at the Capitol. The National MS Society sends condolences to you and your family. Peace.

Kathleen was a special person who showed us what it was to have love of neighbor and courage. She always had a smile and would come to the St. Bernard's Ladies Guild events. We always looked for her presence. Even with her limitations, she always tried to do the craft we were making, engage in conversation with the group, laugh and smile and just be and in doing so, was a gift to us who knew her and loved her. Bob, thank you for always bringing her and for taking care of her all those...

She was a fantastic teacher and one of my all time favorites. I’m sorry for your loss and my sincere condolences

Great inspiration and teacher to our kids, wonderful friends to us. So many great, fun memories for all of us. Sending love and prayers. Bob, so very sorry for your loss.

My beloved wife Kathleen was a true angel on earth. Her love for teaching and the thousands of kids whose life she touched is what made her so special. I will forever have a void in my heart but now know she is GOD'S most special angel. I LOVE YOU my special angel and will never forget the special LOVE we shared for so many years.

Kathleen welcomed me to Powder Mill when I started as a sub. I then went on to be hired as a fulltime teacher and got to know Kathleen better and what a wonderful woman she was. I especially remember her production of "The Music Man," no small feat with middle schoolers, but it was a great show thanks to her direction and patience. I feel honored to have known Kathy.

My prayers and condolences. She was one of my favorite teachers. I still have a letter she wrote to my parents. I was in her first three plays at Powder Mill school. I had always hoped to talk with her again. She will be missed!
