Kathys mother Kate was a childhood friend of my mom. I remember great time with KAthy.. 10 years my senior she was patient and took time to entertain me. When I was 6-7 she gave me several story book dolls that have been passed down through my family. I re connected with her after my mom died. But, lost touch with her several years before she passed away. It was a joy to talk to her again! Love and sympathy to her family. She was a beautiful soul !

I have very fond memories of Kathy Rosemann. I grew up with her children, and had many fun times at their house. Her children did an excellent job of remembering her at the service, just the way she was, "cool".
