You were an important person to our mom. Helped her find her strength and independence. Forever grateful. Love Kim and family
Kathleen was very important to lots of kids that went to old southeast collegiate on 1301 Lee Boulavard. She took care of us kids and treated us as her own. She worked hard for all of us every Monday to Friday. She made sure we took our vitamins and if we needed a hug from her she would give us one of those wonderful Kathy hugs. I graduated in 2005 but I have always thought about Kathy and the impact she has had on my life and so many others that went to school there. I was just thinking of her and then I saw that she made her journey to the spirit world at the age of 85. It made me happy to know she lived a good long life and passed peaceful. She truly was a special lady. She will always be remembered for all the good work she did and for her kind heart. Love you Kathy rest peacefully <3
