While it is often exhilarating to know one-of-a-kind persons, it is also sadder when they go because you know how unique and rare they are.  And in their little corner of the world, there will always be a little vacancy- they can never be replaced. 

Kathy you are with God now!  I am going to miss you very much,  I learned so much from you  during the time that I worked for you.  Thank you for everything! 
Love, 
Maritza 

When I heard of Kathy’s passing, I immediately thought of Chrissi and the twins, because I witnessed her Love for you all! I sympathized as best my heart could, because I felt I share a very similar bond with my mother. It’s an undeniable Love Kathy exuded for her whole family. She had such pride! I was Blessed with the opportunity to visit with Kathy about every 6 -8 weeks over the last 5 years as she was a client of mine. She always came in like a whirl wind! It was hard to get her to slow down to take time for herself, because she enjoyed life to it’s fullest! She was such a strong intelligent soul, Whom was always willing to help, from a professional opinion to a mothering one, because of her I have the business I have! With out even knowing she helped in teaching me how to be the perfect mix of business and class! To Kathy and her family I’m forever grateful, just by having known her and seeing the amount of Heart and Fight she always had. She left such a beautiful mark on this Earth along her fearless journey, May she Rest In Peace. 

We met Kathy and Jim right after I lost my parents 15 years ago .  Ever since then we celebrated many holidays, occasions and business adventures. Even when life got in the way, we always bonded in spirit and in love. 
Kathy is one of the most remarkable women I know; caring,  loving,  wise, compassionate and spiritual: but most of all, her love to help anyone even overlooking  her own needs.

Jim, you were there every step of the way, loving her,  supporting her in every way you could.   Kathy knows the love you have for her.

 Kathy and Christy's love for each other was like no other.  I have never seen such a beautiful mother-daughter relationship like they have.

Our prayers are not for Kathy,  BUT for her family and friends; .  Kathy , we know you are with Jesus, you fought a great battle,  and Jesus said it was time to come home.  Well,  we are now  celebrating your life but we sure do miss you.  Until we meet again!!!

P.S.  There are no laptops in heaven!!!!!!

My late husband and I met Kathy at her daughter’s dinner party.  Christy wanted the families to meet before her forthcoming nuptials to my nephew David.  After the formalities, Kathy busied herself in the kitchen helping Christy prepare an elegant meal. It didn’t take long to recognize the uniqueness of this beautiful woman, so interesting and with so much to share. We had many occasions to meet at family gatherings over the years: birthday parties, celebrating holidays, honoring Kathy on her birthday and other memorable activities. Always encouraging and selfless, I will forever hold Kathy close and respect the struggle and pain she endured fighting the battle.  God has welcomed an angel into his fold.  Rest in peace, dear Kathy.

I think Kathy would be surprised to know that she influenced so much of my life. I learned the importance of being a strong woman in business from Kathy. She taught me to do it all with grace and poise and a smile on my face. She taught me that in business not everyone is the friend they pretend to be. I learned a lot about being a strong single mom from her. Christy, from the very first day I met you both, her love for you was unapologetically overwhelming. There was no doubt that everything that she did was for you. Jim, I remember the first day she met you. She came back to the office and talked about what a magnificent man you are. Over the years I’ve thought of her fondly and carried so much of her with me. 

My world was a better place because Kathy was in it.  I never got a chance to tell her that, but I hope that she knew what an influence she had on me.  

Dear Jim, I am so sad to read about Kathleen's passing. My memories of Kathleen are of a passionate entrepreneur who loved to assist people in their business.
My prayers are with you and your family

Warmest Regards,
Patricia Crowley
 

Such a beautiful spirit.  Full of life.   Kathy will be dearly missed.    Treasure every memory -  they will help ease your pain as you reflect on good times shared.   May the love of the Christ comfort you and bring you peace. John 6:40.  Our deepest condolences, loving thoughts and prayers.

Kathy,

You are an inspiration to all of us in the exit planning and business transition business.  You never stopped learning and exploring new avenues to excellence.  Your many certifications, articles and book demonstrate your constant commitment to serving others.  We will miss you. 

Hey Kathy. Thanks for Your friendship and all you’ve done for me in the past. You really helped me grow my brokerage firm and I learned a lot from you.  Pretty cool about you and your friend writing that book. I’m proud of you. You are awesome. And a person I always trusted and appreciated.   Wish we had grabbed one more meeting or time together or bite to eat. You and Jim are an awesome team. See you on the other side of life as we know it. All the best-Brian

I met Kathy when I started working at the daycare, June 8, 2008.  She was always always very very nice to me.  She helped out a lot with insurance advice.  May you soar with the angels and rest in the Lord's Eternal Life.  Amen.

I have known Kathy since 2001, I was just a young 21 year old who had just started my teaching career. The Thing I remember most about Kathy is her contagious smile.  She was  a mom to us at the daycare. When I didnt understand something she always explained it in away that I could understand it so I wouldn't be lost.  There has been so many things that we have been through.  Even when I left Mrs B's for a few years, every time I saw Kathy she always had open arms for me. Always asking how life was going. When I came back and going through a rough time I could always count on her smile to get me through. I am going to miss her smiling face and her hugs when she would drop off Abbey and Luke. Kathy, you are always in my heart, and I know you'll be watching us everyday. I love you very much.  ❤💖 

I have known Kathy since I started working for Christy In 2006. You were our work mother. If we needed advice on 401k, insurance or personal situations you were there ! I thank god for allowing me the opportunity to get to know you ❤️ Christy sent me a picture of you and her and said if you post mom will get you lol (she sure would have ) but in that picture .. while in the hospital you were smiling and that picture spoke volumes to me.. it showed that through it all you still had Joy way down in your soul and you knew either way it went that you were going to be ok. Pain shaped you into a warrior! You have received you crown.. now you can walk around heaven as the queen you are... I love you

I loved this woman with all my heart.  Kathy was my dear friend and closest thing to a sister.  So glad she and Jim went to Alaska with Tim and I. She had such a good time.  Lots of laughs and wine.  She was the smartest person I ever knew.  Kathy and I took an instant liking to each other when we met.  She loved her family so much and was dedicated to them.  Kathy also loved Animals and was my support for all of the four legged kids that I had to help over the rainbow bridge.  Never met anyone like her that was always kind to everyone, enjoyed helping people, and was a bundle of energy even when she she was ill.  Never complained of her illness, just always ready for the next fight with her illness.  She has changed my life profoundly in so many good ways, but none better than guiding me to the foot of the cross.  Kathy was a good Chritian woman who had deep faith.  I know she is with the Lord, and with all those she loved and lost through life.  You will never be forgotten, you left a hole in the hearts  of all those that knew you.  Until we meet again dear friend, enjoy the reward of heaven and your wings you so much earned.  Love you forever.

 Kathy was an amazing woman and she had a strong will to live. I’m going to miss seeing her walk into the daycare and always making  sure she said hello . I loved  watching her eyes light up when her grandchildren would run over to her and give her a hug. I never seen a mom love a daughter as much as she loved Christy. I will miss you so much and you’re an inspiration to all of us

I met Kathy in Boston and trained with her in the area of exit planning with a group of others.  Kathy was always so well prepared and always friendly to the group.  Later we did some work together.  Great people are not forgotten.  Kathy was a great person.   My condolences to the family

I am going to miss Kathy with all my heart and soul. She was a second mom to me..always there to guide me and listen to things and give me advice. I will as well as christy be lost without her. She is loved by so many. She is one of the strongest and smartest people I know. Her battle was hard..I remember the first diagnosis but she fought and we gained another 10 years of having her. I am grateful I had a chance to be with her in the final hours and will remember her as the strong lady I know she was. May you rest in peace Kathy with the Angels and baby RIa...love you..Lisa
