We were very sorry to learn of Kathleen's death. We were neighbors in Flossmoor.

Kathleen was very caring and understanding and loved her family dearly.

I will always remember Kathleen with great affection. It was always a pleasure visiting her on my trips back home to the states. To me, Kathleen was so insightful and caring to both her family and friends. I will miss her greatly.

Kathy was my second mom growing up. I will always remember girl scout camping, her awesome cooking, trips to southern Illinois and just knowing I was always welcome at her home. Roo and Dan, my heart goes out to you across the miles....JM

I will always remember her sense of style, sharing a glass of wine with her, and laughing together.



Kathleen's wisdom, insights, generosity and grace will be missed in this world. She was a beautiful soul.
