Had the privilege of working with Kathy at Cutco for many years. My heart is saddened at the news of her and Mark´s passing. I got to know her Mom and Dad by serving them coffee at the Masonic Fish Frys in Shinglehouse. Also worked with Alyssa and Chelsea in the shipping department at Cutco. I can still see Kathy´s big grin whenever we spoke about them.
As I am retired and living a distance away I regretfully will not be able to attend the services.
My sincere condolences to the family.
