Oh Kathy! I am so glad that I got to work with you at Trexlertown. I do miss the laughs and conversations. And the “I’m hungry” 5 minutes into me coming in. It didn’t take much to twist my arm to go get DD or McDonald. And I am glad to have gotten to know you on a personal level and not just a co-worker. Rest easy my friend. And I pray for your family and friends during this difficult time.

We love you so much Kathy. You are an inspiration to so many moms and nurses..❤. You have a heart of gold and a fun loving personality that will always be remembered. It was our honor to be a part of your life and we will cherish every memory we have. I’ll never forget when you and the kids came up to the house at the shore and you laughed because I gave sweet Emory Fiji water instead of tap water! It’s Fiji water from here on out for your girl. Thank you for bringing love and light with every moment we saw you. We are deeply sorry to your beautiful children and family to have lost such a beautiful person. Rest in eternal peace , Kathy. Forever with us, Margaret and Scott
