Just heard now of Mrs. Stein's passing, was totally shocked. She was my teacher back at St. George in 6th and 7th grades. I'm sure she and Sr. Marlene are up there talking about old times. May she rest in peace, so sorry for your loss.

May your family hold her dear in your heart and minds. She will be missed greatly. A true friend and confidant. May she rest in peace. Kathleen was my 7th and 8th grade teacher at St. George, and she will always be remembered.

I am so shocked to hear about her passing. She will truly be missed and was honestly the best science teacher a kid could ever ask for.

Colleen & Butch:
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your sister. You and all of your family have my deepest sympathy.
Remember...

'I'm In Your Heart'
I live now in that realm
where angels of light reside.
Where harmony,
true beauty and serenity abide.
And though we cannot share a hug,
a smile or tender touch,
I hope you know I'm in your heart,
and I love you ever so much.

May God hold your family in His arms and comfort you.

Jim,

Kathleen was such a kind and caring person with a big heart. I remember as a child coming to visit Uncle Eddie and Aunt Loretta and seeing Kathleen sitting outside on the porch. She always jumped and gave all of us the biggest hug. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I know she will be missed greatly and she was loved by many.

Love,
Kim Wern McClure

I only knew her as Mrs. Stein. She was my science teacher at OLOR. Even now, at 30 years old, married, and with a couple kids of my own, I still am reminded by her every now and then. It's silly the reason what I remember her for though: I remember a story she told me about when she was at home one night, reading in bed. She kept hearing a noise that she didn't know what it was, only that she thought some one was in the house. To her discovery, it was the carbonation in her can of pop on her bedside table. This is a perfect example of how she was always wanting to teach us kids.

She will be missed greatly by many, because she touched so many in her life.
