Kathleen was the sweetest, smartest person I have ever known she helped me in so many ways. She mentored me and helped me in more ways then even she ever knew.when I heard that she had passed, my saddness was so deep I can not describe it. I feel a sadness every time I think of a question or a situation she would have enjoyed solving. she was one of the greatest people I have ever met.

Kathleen made such a tremendous impact on so many people's lives, myself included. She was a mentor, cousin, and friend, and she will be dearly missed.

Dear Katherine and Mary Jo:
How blessed you were to have had Kathleen! Loving, brilliant and humble all at the same time. I pray for you everyday now especially in this difficult time of adjustment. I love you and I love Kathleen still and always will. Blessings and Love, John Graden

I just wanted you both to know how saddened I am by Kathleen's passing. It was always interesting to talk to her and to know that she was really listening (a wonderful trait). I didn't know her well, but am going to miss her. Take care of yourselves.
Love, Debbie

One of many people who claim Kathleen as a mentor-both in business and personal-I feel a sense of lost knowing that Kathleen will not be at the other end of the phone to answer questions or just say hi.

Dear Mary Jo & Kate --
Jerr and I are so sorry for your loss. Kathleen was a wonderful, brave woman and her courage has been extraordinary. I worked with her too briefly and didn't know her as well as I would have liked but I always enjoy finding smart, cynical women . . . so I felt we were friends.
It's been a long time since our "Lion King" evening in New York with Bob and Gary but we've thought of you all often as Kathleen did battle. There are no words for your loss so we wish you strength, courage and the comfort of knowing that the love goes on. It stays with you and it will go on forever.
Thinking of you, wishing you comfort, sharing your loss in our own small way --
Love,
Linda & Jerr

Dearest MaryJo and Katherine.
I am deeply saddened as I write this love note to let you know I share your loss.
I'm recalling the happy times at FleetFeet's annual Women's 5/10k Festival when the World's Best Cheerleader shouted her heart out as the two of you acrossed the finish line. What energy. What love!
We will all miss dear Kathleen.

Love to Mary Jo and Katherine.
My cousin, Kathleen, was a very special friend. She and I had such good times when we were kids.
She was in my wedding.
