Kathy was a dear friend from the moment she introduced herself to me on the first day of 5th grade. I adored her parents who loved Kathy to the moon and back. Being in the school chorus together, sleeping in the tent in their back yard, having sleepovers at each other's house, going to the drive-in during college summers...the memories are sweet but I miss her already. My very deepest sympathy to Kathy's family. She was the best!!

My deepest sympathy to the family. I worked with Don and Val for several years. Then had the great pleasure of working with Kathy at Dr. Schneider and Jamals Office. She was a dedicated worker but we had a lot of laughs along the way. I havent seen her in many years but her beautiful smile remains in my mind. Kathy had a beautiful heart. I am so very sorry to hear of her passing. She will be missed by all.

I had the joy or working with Kathy in Newfane High School's production of the Sound of Music. She was Maria and I played Gretel. I loved hearing Kathy sing "Raindrops on Roses." She had a beautiful singing voice and an amazing smile.

Kathy was Gem, one half of a set of lovely dancing twins in my "Forum". Kathy was blind and I was the psychopath she killed 8 times. We could hardly " "Wait Until Dark". Before the curtain calls we'd run backstage and laugh ourselves silly til it hurt. Had a wonderful time always. Loved her. So did George .

I loved Kathy's wonderful sense of humor, her infectious smile and her ability to empathize with others. She was very brave and kept her sense of humor even when times were dark. She was loved and is already missed. ❤
