    My fondest memories of Kathleen when she lived just a stone’s throw from our home when she and my cousin Fred were newlyweds. Such a kind, loving person.

    She was a loving sister and had to help with all the younger ones. She loved school but had to quit to help out at home.

    I have so many precious memories of Kathleen from my childhood. She was always so kind to anyone around. I can just see her whole body bouncing when she laughed. I hope the memories you all have of her bring a smile and carry you through the roughest days when missing her sweet soul.
