KATHRYN BOSHER Ph.D.

As a youngster I used to play with Kate and Hal at the Bosher home in Toronto. Though we had been out of touch for many years, when I heard of her passing, I was deeply shaken. Together with Hal, we would build tree houses, adventure in the ravine behind our homes, forage for watercress and host garden tea parties for the adults. In the Winter, she would read to us before a roaring fireplace. Every time I revisit Alice and Wonderland, I can hear her serene and caring voice.

Kate surely had an impact on me, as it seems she impacted everyone she came across. She will...

From an alumna of Northwestern University, to the family of Kathryn G. Bosher, I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences for your loss, and as you grieve, may God the hearer of prayer help you to endure this trying time and grant you peace as spoken of at Psalm 65:2

May God bless Kate and all who love her..

This is such heartbreaking news. Kate was one of the most genuine, kind, and thoughtful people to grace this earth. What always struck me about Kate is that she consciously took time to enjoy the present moment. I remember many a conversation concerning her great pleasure in good tea served in one of her delicate china cups. Every time I drink tea out of anything fancier than a standard mug, I think of Kate. When you talked with Kate she actually listened to what you had to say, asked several...

Perhaps it is not classical to say that Kate was something of an angel, but it is true.

I so much looked forward to Kate becoming my colleague at Ohio State next Autumn; I chaired the search committee that hired her. I am so very sad that this will never happen, now. I really liked her. Sarah Iles Johnston
