I was very sorry to hear of the loss of Kathy. I met her around the time of high school days in Scranton. A few of us spent many days/evenings having fun and laughing with her. She was the life of the party!
I am very sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Kathy was a great Regional Director for the Census Bureau in Boston, Ma. As a Field Supervisor I loved her tenacity and strength when dealing with issues we encountered in the field. She expected excellence but she always had our backs.

People who are willing to devote their time and expertise to teach others are hard to come by; Kathy was that kind of leader. A fantastic role model for working mothers, she was always an unwavering champion for her employees. My sincere sympathies are with the family. I hope that your joyful recollections provide you comfort and serenity during this trying time.
