Kathy is still in my thoughts. When we reminisce about the old Beth Israel days, Kathy is always remembered as a strong leader who influenced the careers of so many. She will forever be embedded in the walls of our hospital. I keep her in my prayers always and hold her close to my heat.

On behalf of myself and my wife Jane, please accept our deepest condolences. We just learned a few moments ago from WEBA member Joe Kopleman about the loss of Kathleen.

Please know that whenever you feel ready, we welcome you to stop by for a visit anytime you are on the Cape. We would love to see you.

I was a young nurse at Beth Israel when I first met Kathy. I looked up to her. She was the type of nurse everyone wished they could be like. She had such tremendous wisdom and was always willing to share her experiences with others. She was a great teacher but what I will always remember most about Kathy is her kind smile and gentle heart. She will sorely be missed by her friends and colleagues but she will forever be a part of the legacy of Beth Israel Hospital. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.
With Sympathy,
Phyllis West

I knew Kathy at work. I was a student and then a psychiatist at Beth Israel in the 90's. I worked with Kathy on the inpatient unit for several years. She was a nurse's nurse, a real professional: smart, caring, sensible and funny, a star among the BI's stellar nursing staff. Looking back I doubt I ever thanked her enough for her time, teaching and profesisonalism. None of us could have done our work without her.
My deepest condolences to her family on this terrible loss.

Kathy will be remembered as a wonderful human being, a devoted wife and mother, and a nurse with overwhelming compassion for those in need. Your colleagues/friends from 2 East and 6 North at Beth Israel will miss you terribly. May God give comfort to the Berman and Horan families. The Spirit sighs too deep for words.
