Kathleen was bright and well spoken. She possessed a rare sense of chari t y and kindness that punctuated her every deed and served to inspire tho s e who were fortunate enough to share her company. She projected an unus ua l optimism born of family, faith and conquering adversity. She was alw ay s extremely kind and loving to anyone and everyone. We all will miss h e r unmistakable laugh and charisma which would light even the darkest o f l ife's corners.
Her seven children provided enormous emotional and spiritual sustenanc e t hat made her complete as a person.

Her affection and devotion for her children overrode all the personal ne e ds of her own. She was both a pianist and a creative artist.
