Theresa and family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mom/wife/grandma was always so kind and sweet. She always had a big friendly smile on her face. I will always remember her fondly

Dear Garrigan Family I am so sorry to hear about Kathy. The last time I saw her was with mother at the Prison dinner. I knew she was feeling bad then but had no idea she was that bad. Will be seeing you at the visitation.

This goes to all the family memebers of the Garrigans, expecially Theresa. We went to OMOS together. And my parents knew your parents. I just want to say I'm sorry and keep all of you in my prayers. Laura Collins(Strugalla)

I've known Kathleen since she was a DKA lady at the Pima County Attorney's Office and also through Our Mother of Sorrows. She was a sweet, loving, gentle, caring person. I liked her very much and will miss her. Pest in peace dear Kathleen.
