George, Mike, Dan and Tim,
I was down in FL and hadn't heard about Kathy's death. I am so sorry for all of you. George, you and Kathy were such a cute couple! Remember her beautiful smile and impish ways. When anyone would say, now what does she look like, I would always describe her as "you know Kathy, she is tiny, really pretty and looks like a little leprechaun"! Very sorry I missed her services. My best wishes to all of you to get through these tough times. Fond memories of her will help your grieving! Hang in there!

Fondly,
Maureen Dalton

Dear George, Mike, Dan and Tim,
We are so sorry for your loss our hearts and prayers are with you always. Mike and Barbara McGreal
Kate what am I going to do without you. You always made me laugh even when you were serious. As George said "I was you best audience." My goofy escapes that I made you go on and there were many, but the funniest one was when I signed us up one Saturday morning to get a haircut at a famous salon on North Michigan Ave. Students were cutting hair for a fraction of the price. I had mine done and I told you I would meet you in the car. I see you walking down the street and I swear they shaved your head. I could not stop laughing, You get in the car and say "just drive" as I am still laughing I try to turn to you to say I'm sorry but I could not say it because I am still laughing. This went on all the way home. You get out of the car saying If you ever ever again involve me in your hair brain ideas I will never speak to you again. Of couse I did and you were with me. Kate I would much rather laugh with you than cry without you. Rest in peace my friend.

Dear George and Family,
Kathy was the dearest friend I ever had; ours was a friendship without demand and it was always great to be with her. It was always fun and laughter. I'm going to miss her laugh and all the great times we had together. I am so sorry. I know how much you are going to miss your wife/mother. She was the greatest. Much Love, Margie Ward
