Kathy was a wonderful woman and a I have nothing but great memories of her that I will carry with me forever. My thoughts go out to her family and I hope that your sadness is tempered by the fact that she was loved by so many.

Ms. Clements was my little"Kitty Kat"(that's what I called her). I will always remember her words of wisdom. May the grace of God comfort her family during these trying times.
Love,

Kathy was a wonderful part of the Wolsh family for years. I am one of the Wolsh grandaughters and have so many great memories of Kathy. Her smile and just how she kept everyone happy. She would have my grandfather laughing all the time. THere was always rice or bread pudding in the refrigerator! It was always fun to visit Nana and pop when Kathy was there.
To you, her loved ones, know how much she brightened and touched our lives. May your many memories sustain you through your loss.
