Not sure what to say?

Kathleen, you were, and still are so beloved. You have a beautiful family and you touched the lives of so many of your students. My favorite memories of you come from working on our class reunions together...we always had so much fun! Now we're having different kinds of reunions here...we see old friends and share memories at the funerals of our friends. It's part of the "aging process". I think of you up there in Heaven - visiting with Bobby Fullerton and Ray Otero, and just recently you all...

So sorry to see this. Martha johnson

My Deepest Sympathy. I met Kathleen in Jr. High, she was a kind and wonderful person.

Kathleen was such a beautiful soul. I met her at a BeautiControl meeting many years ago, and then TruAura. We always enjoyed our time visiting and catching up over lunch. I will miss you my beautiful friend. Prayers for peace and comfort for her family and friends during this difficult time.

I first met Kathleen when I was a high school student busing tables in the evening at the Firehouse Restaurant in Albuquerque, NM. She was teaching middle school in the day and waiting tables in the evening to support her student trips to Washington, DC. We were a good working team (even during the most hectic nights) and our friendship continued after I graduated college and moved away. We stayed in touch for thirty-five years and I was always so excited to catch up with her and Tricia...

Kathleen was a good friend in our early teens. She was truly kind to everyone. Julie (Trechel) Machtinger

I have truly never met a more selfless person than Kathie. We had been close friends since 1978, having met as teachers working in the APS summer special education program. She meant so much to me and to all of my family members. She even visited us in 1992 when we were stationed in Germany. She took all of my nephews to Washington D.C. over the years. Kathie meant the world to me. We were actually able to finish one another's sentences! We shared so many common interests...jobs, dreams,...

Kathleen and I were drawn to one another like magnets during our early days of teaching. We had deep conversations, occasional meals, and celebrations over the years. My husband called her a perpetual teenager and loved her as much as I did. I'm grateful to have known her in APS and at St. John's.

I met Kathleen Goodwin and her wonderful family in Malta, and we became good friends. They welcomed me into their lives and made my time working there so much better and worthwhile. I have lots of fond memories of our time together, and know that anyone who came into her orbit was blessed by it.
