I saw Kathy recently and we talked for a bit. I always enjoyed seeing her and chatting with her. She had such a calm demeaner, even when stressed, you would never know. I will always remember our little chats from my years of working with her at Hamot. She was an amazing person, and I was blessed to have known her. My prayers go out to her entire family on this loss.

My mother was the most amazing person I have ever known. She loved all of her family and friends so much, and all of the patients she cared for in her 40 year career as a nurse. I'm so proud to call her my mother. She is gone, but has given a part of her amazing spirit to every life she has touched. I am deeply saddened by her loss, but her love and guidance has made me strong enough to cope with the pain. I hope this can also help to ease the pain of others who are grieving her loss as well.

Peace and Love,

To the Badders family,
I was so sorry to hear of Kathy's death. I was fortunate to attend nursing school with Kathy many years ago and even more fortunate to see her at our nurses reunion last August where we were able to reminisce about the good old days. I'll always remember Kathy as fun-loving and kind. I know she'll be missed. I'm sorry I was unable to make a visit to the funeral home for a last goodbye but I send my heartfelt sympathies and prayers to her son and the rest of her family.
