Dear Don,
We are so sorry to hear of Kathleen's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We always enjoyed seeing both of you at our alumni events at Homecoming and Reunion on campus or when we got together at the Art Gallery in Columbus. Kathleen had a wonderful smile and was always a delight to see at our alumni functions. You are in our prayers, Don. You were always so wonderful to Kathleen and the love you both shared for each other was
inspiring.

Kathleen was a member of my Holy Name School, Class of 1953. My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Kathleen and Don. She was always happy and smiling anytime she came to our Holy Name reunions. She was a good friend, as we all were. We were about 48 in number and most of have been in contact for the last 55 years, with Kathleen leading our great Holy Name family. Kathleen's ever present smile and beautiful attitude will be in our minds forever. Holy Name friends will forever miss you. You are at peace.

Kay, we cannot believe that you are in heaven already. When I talked to you last week you seemed in great spirits. What a lucky girl you are that God needed a lively lady in heaven so soon. We will miss you very much.

My prayers and thoughts are with you - words cannot say what I feel. I just remember all the great times we had at Holy Name (Class of 53) and my mom and Mrs. McCormick taking us places and the summer they took me to the Cape for a week at Kathleen's great aunt's house. She will be missed by all her knew her and loved her.

Don and family,
My sympathy to you. Kathleen was my little sister at Bryant where we were members of Sigma Iota Beta. She was always smiling and fun to be with.

There are no words. If anything can give you peace, however impossible that may seem, know that many people care, that you're not alone and never will be.

There surely is a brighter light in Heaven, now.
