Where do I begin ? Kathy and I worked together for a little over a year at rt 42 home. Words can not begin to explain how much I will miss her and that uplifting smile.She impacted my life in so many ways. I learned from her everyday in one way or the other and I will carry all of that with me always. I have had many conversations with Kathy. Some days sad, some days happy, and some days we both just needed to vent to each other. She ALWAYS made my day so much better and I can only hope I did the same for her. She had such a huge, caring, giving, compassionate heart and would do anything for anyone . She loved all her kids, grand kids, family, and friends more than anything in the world.She talked about all of them everyday for hours upon hours, and her stories never got old. I will miss all of our talks, laughter, tears and most of all her friendship. I'm very glad I got to work with Kathy and become close to her. She became like family to me and I will miss her tremendously. Rest In Paradise my dear friend. Until we meet again. I love you.

I'm sorry to hear of Kathy's passing. She was a warm and caring soul that loved to talk about her children and grandchildren. She also was so gentle and loving with her residents, it was heartwarming to see. God bless the family she leaves behind and her residents. The world is a little less sunny without her.
