Frank I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Kathy for many years , welcomed as a cousin in law, forever.
I’m very sorry to hear of Kathy’s passing. We were best of friends as LPN students. I always said that Kathy took the best notes in class. ( I would have been lost without them). She was always gracious to let me study from them. She was also a bridesmaid at my first wedding. So sorry I didn’t stay in touch. She had a beautiful soul.
God bless you all. So sorry for your loss.
Sincerely
Beverly Woodmansee
Frank, I am so sorry. I was just telling someone I was going to stop over and see the two of you. I miss you both and I haven’t been in touch with people for reasons unknown so I found out about this late. I hope I can stop over and visit soon. Your family was such a huge part of my adolescence and I’ve been wanting to tell you how much you guys meant to me. I’m so upset I found this out late and still tear up at the thought of Tim. You all meant more than you know to me. I’m so sorry for your loss, Love you Always, Joe
Kathy was a good woman, wife, mother and Roman Catholic. May she rest in peace with Tim.
