I am so sorry for your loss of Kathleen. I remember walking to St. Roman's with her to school. The last time I saw her was at the St Roman's reunion. You are in my thoughts & prayers.

Dear Debbie,

I am so sorry about Kathy. Though I had lost touch with her through the years, I think of her and Anita when I pass the apartment building on Howard Ave. Kathy was a fun,generous,caring person and will be missed by many. My prayers are with you.
