I was so sad to hear of Kathy´s passing. I worked with her at Kinder Care. She was a great listener. After I left there, I would often see her at Big Y or sometimes Westside or Stop and Shop and we would catch up. Prayers to the family.

Rick and family

I am so sorry for your loss. I was in shock when you stopped at the office this morning. Kathy was such a special lady. We always looked forward to seeing her. She was always kind to staff and showering us with special gifts for doing our jobs.
She gave me special books for my grandchildren which I will cherish and when reading to them speak of the special lady who gave them to me.

You are all in my prayers.
