Kathryn "Kitty" Ptacek

Hi John....Thought of you and Kitty at our reunion recently...many people there mentioned how much she is missed. Knowing you are holding the many memories she left you in your heart and that they bring you comfort all the days of your life. Sally K. (Repa) Hanson

Dear Joe and Family,
You're sent the deepest of condolences as well as wishes for the patience, courage and optimism you need, in particular, at this time. I knew your mom only through her son, you, Joe. It seems as if your humor, keen curiosity, and passion about what you do are definitely part of the wonderful legacy she has passed on to you.
Suzanne Kessler, Whitefish Bay High

John & Joe,
So very sorry for your loss. I will be keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Ptacek Family ...
I am, we all are, so saddened at the loss of Kitty. I knew her well in high school - fun, vibrant, sweet and kind. She stayed that way throughout life and leaves us all too quickly, but giving everyone lasting memories. Answers don't come in our time...they come in God's time. My deepest sympathies to you.

Know John,
that there are so many people that are thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. She has left you and all who had the pleasure of knowing her, a lifetime of wonderful memories. Take comfort in them...May God walk with her always.

Dearest John and Joe,

I have been reading all of these lovely messages remembering Kitty. All sooo true and a very accurate testament to our dear, sweet Kitty. The picture is of us having fun at just one of many family picnics. Kitty said it was time I got up because they were all about to meet my boyfriend (Bill/husband of 32 yrs) for the first time and needed to welcome him properly :) Love to our forever joyful, caring Kitty. Love and hugs to you both.

John, I'm so sorry about Kitty. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Joe.

She was a lovely person. Our prayers to John and Joe. Peace Be With You.

We have many wonderful memories of Kitty as a great friend who cherised her family so much. Prayers and thoughts are with you John and Joey.

The thing I remember about our first meeting was her smile. It's the first thing I thought about when I heard she had passed. Condolences to the family.

Kitty will be missed by everyone who knew her. Lots of love and sympathy to John and Joe.

My deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family.

John, my thoughts are with you and your family on the loss of Kitty. She was a special person and I feel blessed to have known her.

My deepest sympathy

With love and appreciation for the journey and wishing you peace in the destination.

My heart goes out to the entire Bobrowicz family as well as her husband, extended family and friends. The memories of our neighborhood friendships as children still make me smile. Please know that I will keep you all in my thoughts today and always.

While the years had brought some distance between Kitty and myself the wonderful memories of the times we knew each other as teenagers seem like yesterday. Those days were so carefree, so simple, shared with a wonderful group of friends, they will hold a special place in my heart forever. My deepest sympathies to John and all the family.

Dear Ptacek Family,
Kitty brightened and enriched the lives of the children, staff, and parents at Lake Bluff. We will miss her spark, dedication, intelligence and sense of humor. She had an internal strength and optimism that were awe inspiring. I also appreciated that she could be feisty when something needed to be improved. She made our world better. We were lucky to have her in our lives.

Kitty was so very dear to all of us at Gilda's Club. Her smile always brightened up a room.
May your memories of her vibrant spirit hold her in your hearts forever.

Dear John,
I'm so sorry to learn of Kitty's passing.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

Kitty was a wonderful person and an outstanding teacher. She was kind and compassionate and always had words of support for others. Kitty was very strong and faced life and death with clear vision and humor.
Kitty took over my class when I had back surgery a number of years ago. Before I was able to easily come down steps, she brought my entire class over to serenade me in my upper flat down the street from the school. This is only one of many of Kitty's acts of kindness...Bless you, Kitty, and bless your dear family as they deal with your passing.
