I am so sorry to hear of Kathy's passing. We hung around together for quite a while and we saw The Beatles together way back in 1964. I remember that we had so much fun together! We lost touch through the years and I did try to look her up on Facebook, but she wasn't on there. I wish we could have connected again, because, like I said, we had a lot of fun together. Again, I am so sorry to hear of this. Rest in Peace, Kathy.

Kathy was always very generous and helpful. She struggled to overcome her personal challenges, but always fought her way back. She was a constant companion with her mother. She was also very active in her parish. She was a good friend.
