I want to share my respects and condolences with Kathy's family. We were classmates throughout our years at St. Andrew.  I always liked Kathy, her friendly demeanor and her involvement and engagement in school life especially as a cheerleader.  We didn't stay in touch after high school but I did see her at our class reunion and she remained a beautiful open friendly personality . I was glad to get reacquainted even for a brief time and I was so sorry to hear of your loss.   


Rest in piece, cousin!  You've earned a special place in heaven.
- Cousin Frankie

My condolences go to Kathy's family.  We both worked as secretaries at Southfield Public Schools for over 20 years.  Kathy was a wonderful person, a good ESOS union president, a helpful and kind lady.  She had a very wise way about her with sparkling blue eyes and a beautiful smile.  

Sincerely,

Joan R Brinich


Dayne and I were saddened  to hear of Kathy’s passing. We will miss seeing her at the cottage, but we will  remember her great laugh  and  her friendliness.Thinking of all you kids and your families. 

My condolences to Kathy’s family.  Kathy and I went to St. Andrew’s together and like most people did not keep in touch after graduation.  After our 40th class reunion, she was gracious enough to have a group of us continue the party at her house.  We shared stories and laughs and I did not get home until 5 am.  Her smile and laugh will not be forgotten.  Rest In Peace, my friend!

I first met Kathy when our sons were on the same t-ball team. We sat through many organized sports games with our children who are the same age. Her family was her world, so we had a lot in common. Lauren, Tom, Joe and Haley, I am so sorry that you had to say good-bye to your mom. She will be missed by many. You are in my thoughts.

I am so saddened to find out you left us so soon.  Kathy spread your wings and fly high with all the angels.  No more suffering or pain.  I will always remember the good times with you  throughout our lifetime. Say hi to your mom, dad, my mom, dad, David and a hug to my Dennis.  You will be missed Kathy💔  R.I.P. Cuz!😢

They say blood is thicker than water.  Who knew that love was thicker than blood?  Apparently, you knew. When you dubbed me your "sister-in-love" it was a title cherished more than that of princess or queen. You shared yourself, your siblings, your children and now your grand-children with me.  Each time the cocktail bell on my porch rings, I will think of you on the sands of Pearly Gate Beach.  I hope you packed a new coffee mug.  The Gates of Heaven Tavern never closes and they never run out of Coors Light.  May God's light shine upon you in all of eternity, my sister-in-love.

Rest In Peace Kathy.   I am so glad we got to see you at Christmas and more recently in July.   Even though you were fighting we could tell you were tired.   Say hi to Ma and Pops as well as David.   Douglas says have a beer on him.  You will be missed.  

Love, 
Douglas and Patti

To my Auntie Kathy,  Oh how I will miss you dearly.  I will always remember the Christmas Eve parties that I looked forward to every year at your house. 
You always were a wonderful loving and warm Auntie, always smiling and dancing,  I am so blessed that you were in my life and I had a chance to see you one last time and kiss you on the cheek and make you smile.  I will miss you so much.   We had a party tonight at Aunt Linda’s in your memory and you weren’t there it was hard to explain the emotions I was feeling not seeing you at a family party. 

Hug Uncle Dave, Give Grandma Jane and Grandpa Stanley a big old hug and kiss from me and tell them I love them and miss them and think of them often as I will you.  

Love you and Rest In Peace 

Xoxo

Jason, Janna and Charlotte
