I just learned of Kathleen´s death. (That is what I knew her as). There was not a lovelier person in this world. I have so many wonderful memories growing up in Bellwood as Kathleen´s next door neighbor. She was such a great friend to my Granny and mother, Marie. Mike and my Dad were great friends. Kathleen was present at all of our life events, supporting me every step as we endured the loss of my Granny, Mom and Dad. She was always funny and lovely and sincere. I extend my condolences to Michael and Colleen and their families on this loss. Truly she lived a wonderful life!
