For you my sweet friend may it always light your path.

Dear Kathy;
I did not meet you until Nolan H. S., where I found you a pure joy, laughing, being kind. Your Dad was my doctor, and you joked how your Mom and you wanted him to put up his instrument, I think a clarinet, I could be wrong about that. You carried a picture of them, their wedding. You loved them, they loved you. And I thought of all those times I was in his office with the hypo/nurse and very nice receptionist in his office, whist I was being a little girl, that he made me comfortable/ how he was a dad to you. How loving you helped must have made it easier helping me as he made me comfortable as a child, as he was kind. And I knew you were loved. completely.
Last year my daughter gave birth to a son At All Saints. Your dad's office was gone ... across from the hospital. And I knew: because you both cared that our lives were better.
I miss you with your kind but large laughter,
Doretta

Kay loved cats and life. She could give you a detailed history of her kitties and the goings on in her neighborhood. That neighborhood extended from her parents home and Catholic Schools to Italy with Cousin Sarah. She had a wonderful mind for details a generous heart for those in need. Rest peacefully sweet friend. Roger George
