My deepest sympathy for your loss of Kathleen. Kathleen was a person who tried hard to make the world a better place, supporting many causes including animal rights and AIDs research. She was passionate about promoting healthy living and fitness. She was a fun-loving person who loved to gather friends and experience new restaurants and activities. She was a kind, gentle, and playful soul who loved Hello Kitty and butterflies. She was a supportive, caring, and loyal friend.

Kathleen~ A dear friend to me for many years, she loved her cats, animals in general and the color purple. We shared many laughs and tears and I wish we didn't lose touch the past couple of years, I think of you often and my heart is broken about you leaving. You made a true difference in this world and I know you would not say good bye. Until We Meet Again xo Love, Krissy-Cakes

Katalina you'll be missed. You were always coordinating some kind of hike, walk, or volunteer activity. I could always count on you to get a group of people together to join a cause or go out to eat 🙂 I have so many great memories of us - when I think of all of them, the prevailing sound is of your laughter! "Good Times, Good Times" God Bless Love ~Noel

so sorry to hear about Kathy's passing. I had not seen Kathy in years, but we had a lot of good laughs at St Bridgettes. I remember her as being a kind soul, who made people laugh and was never mean to anybody. May warm memories of the lovely person she was bring some comfort.. =(

I miss you dearly Kathleen. You were the most loving, caring, compassionate person I have ever known. My heart aches. You used to say, "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly." Whenever I see a butterfly I think of you. I love you. I miss you. Roger
