Not sure what to say?

Miss Sullivan was my private violin instructor for six years. I will never forget her belief in me as a violinist. She always expected the best from me and never let me just "get by". She was an inspiration to me. She was a loving teacher that knew how to motivate her students to do their very best. And when things got frustrating with a violin lesson she always had a cookie or piece of pie to share from her kitchen. I am an orchestra teacher today and am truly thankful that Miss...

Kath was a wonderful Aunt to me, and a beautiful painter. I have 3 of her watercolors hanging in my bedroom, and they often help remind me of all the lovely times we shared together. I remember going to her house every afternoon when I was younger. We have always had a special bond, and I hope she will continue to watch over me where she is now. Love, Brenna

Kath was an adventurous and well traveled woman with many passions. I respected her love of art, music and travel and her ability to inspire that in many of us. With love and admiration.

Miss Sullivan was the kindergarten teacher for our family also at the units. We have six children in our family and she got a new Keyes kid each year. Thank you to a wonderful teacher who started all the neighborhood children off to a good start and made all the children love school. Shirley Keyes

Miss Sullivan was my kindergarten teacher in 1969 at Kent Hills in GR, MI. My sister of GR let me know of her passing. Not only was she a nice teacher, but I remembered her driving me home from school once when I was getting picked on after class and she knew I was scared. May God treat her mercifully, as she did her students. Deepest Sympathy to her family.

Ms. Sullivan was my kindergarden teacher at "The Units", that was 43 years ago. She was a very kind and caring teacher. I am sorry for your loss, but happy for Ms. Sullivan who is now in heaven.

My condolences to the family of Kathleen Sullivan. Kathleen was my supervising teacher at Kent Hills Elementary School. The year was 1965 and I was a student at Michigan State. Kathleen was a wonderful teacher and I learned so much from her. I have at my side now a beautiful glass paperweight that she gave to me as a parting gift. I know she was a wonderful artist and talented musician. Many times we enjoyed her performances with the Grand Rapids Symphony. I am sure she was a very special...

May the Lord bless you and kep you in His care during this time of sorrow.
And may beautiful memories of the one you loved lessen the sadness you feel with each passing day.
