As patients of Dr Sanzaro we wish her family our condolences and prayers. She was a beautiful person, the best and most caring doctor we ever had and were so sorry when she could no longer practice her special way of taking care of us. She is the only doctor that ever personally called us whenever tests results came in. She meant a lot to all of her patients. She was a good Christian and she has gone Home to live eternally with her Lord without pain and sickness. God bless her.

Katherine was a wonderful doctor and friend. We kept in touch with her after she left Dr. Lilly's office to see how she was doing. She was absolutely the greatest. We will miss her.

I realize that I've been out of touch with your family for many years, but I do remember Kathy well from our days at Campus School and also since our families were so close.
