Kathy Reticker

Dear Jack and family,

I was at the memorial for Kathy today and I found it to be such a beautiful tribute to her. It helped me know her better and to admire her even more than I already did. She touched so many people's lives including mine.

To the entire Reticker family,
Kathy was my group leader during my participation at the BU mgt and leadership program. Her guidance and wisdom, delivered in the most unassuming of ways, contributed greatly to my success.

I am so sorry for your loss and for anyone who had the honor of knowing her.

Dear Jack,

was a beautiful person and it was an honor to have known her.

With my deepest sympathy,

With love,

Jeanne Burton
