We are so sorry for your loss. Maxine, you always spoke of your sister with such love and it was wonderful to hear. She was a great person and overcame so much to persevere and thrive. We know you will always have the sweetest of memories to ease your sorrow. Sisters are very special to us.
With much love to you and Marvin.

I was most saddened to learn about Kathy's passing and just read her obituary. We grew up together in the Greek community of Salt Lake City and like many knew her parents and sisters. Being the same age we attended Sunday School, GOYA, the Greek Orthodox Youth organization, Greek School and Highland High School. I dropped out of Greek School after one lesson but to her credit Kathy remained and became fluent in Greek. On rare occasion we saw each other after she moved to Chicago but her sister Maxine let me know about her family and health condition. She was undeniably loved and admired by many. May her memory be eternal.
