Dear Aunt Madeline and family,

I was so saddened to hear of Kathleen's death. It has been so long since I last saw her, but I will always have fond memories of her. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family and friends.

Dear Aunt Madeline, Michael, and family,

We were so sorry to hear of Kathleen's death. It was a shock to us since we had no idea that she had been so ill. Please know that you and all the family are in our prayers.

One of the first memories of Kathleen that came to mind was from a zillion years ago, when we all used to gather on Pap-pap's property in Zelienople, even before the houses were completed. I distinctly recall playing, as kids, on the exact spot where he built his house.

And when I go way back in memory, I have distinct pictures in my head of Kathleen's nursery as you, Aunt Madeline, got ready for her arrival: upstairs at the house in Ben Avon. I remember it as a little room at the end of the hall,beside your bedroom.

Life is such a precious gift and we are blessed to share it, live it, and celebrate it with so many wonderful people.

Peace be with you--and all of us.

Love,

Fred and Carol

Dear Michael, Marita & Aunt Madeline,

I was absolutely shocked and saddened when I read Kathleen's death notice on the PPG online. I just don't know what to say except that I am deeply sorry & that you are all in my prayers. I didn't know Kathleen well, but I remember her as being very friendly & a pretty woman. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to all of you. May God give you all strength & grace to get through this difficult time. Love your cousin,

Mary Anne

Michael, I was shocked to learn this past weekend of Kathy's tragic passing. I was not aware of her condition or the courageous battle she was fighting. I am so very sorry and saddened by this news. I want you to know that my prayers are with Kathy, as well as, you and your family.

As Always,

Susi
