Dear Hansken family,
I am so very sorry to hear of Kathy's passing. We went all the way through school together from Folcroft to Sharon Hill. Kathy was a dear friend and a wonderful classmate. We have not seen each other since 1966, but I have always remembered her and her warmth, sincerity, and friendship. She had a wonderful and well-deserved life, and a beautiful family to remember her. She is in God's loving hands now and will see you all again. Peace to you all, and R.I.P. to an old friend. Take care...
