I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the family of Kathleen Blake. She was a very strong spiritual person who gave her strength and spiritual heart to others at all times. Meeting her through the last year you would never know that she was suffering from Cancer. She always was very positive in her conversation with you on her daily struggle with Cancer. She was a loving wife towards her husband Richard till his untimely passing of his life. Her Children were a testament to her by giving to them the physical and spiritual strength, which I had the pleasure of having as students., May Kathleen rest in Peace and the memories of her life live on in the hearts and soul of their Children. Jay Brabazon (Mr. B,)
