    Kathleen my sweet friend and spiritual mother you will be missed by all who knew you. The love you had for God, your children and grandchildren was an inspiration. I’m sorry I wasn’t there in your last days but I know you are with the Lord along with Jay, John and Jim. You’re forever in my heart and so many others whose lives you’ve touched.
