To the family of Kathleen Long,

I was heart broken to hear the news of Kathy's death just today. She brought me back to the Catholic Church and deepened my faith like never before. I was an avid participant of the Marian Conferences and a loyal patron to her store/chapel. She has been in and will reamain in my prayers.

I have had two stories published in 2 different books by Sister Patricia Proctor. One is titled the 101 Inspirational Stories of the Rosary and the other is 101 Inspirational Stories of the Priesthood. Both were witness accounts of events that occurred at her conferences. I am forever grateful to her for her sacrifices, humility, love, and devotion. She will me missed by many. She made no secret of how much her family and faith meant to her. Your family will remain in my prayers as well.

Dear Kathleen,

God called you home, but your memory will live on. You did so much to share the Gospel message with God's people, especially the people of Chicago. You inspired so many with your wisdom, generosity, love and with your gentle and caring spirit. You always went out of your way to share God's goodness. I am so proud that our paths met. It was my sister-in-law, Asmahn, and my brother, Dominic, who got to know you so well that you became a part of our family. You asked my sister-in-law to witness exactly ten years ago at one of the conferences and our family was forever transformed. Thank-you Kathleen for being a good servant for God and to God. May our Lord bless your family and may your soul rest in peace. We will miss you!

Love,

Filomena Randazzo and family
