On Wednesday, June 24th, our family was devastated by the loss of my beautiful, funny, loving wife of 41 years after a short illness. She fought with everything she had but was finally overwhelmed. Her radiant, beautiful smile that lit up a room, and easy, contagious laugh will be terribly missed. She was the joy in my life. She was my best friend and I looked forward to being with her every day. She still made me laugh all the time, after all these years. She was upbeat, positive, caring and nurturing, and always made even the most common things fun. She loved her family; her children, Michael Mongan, and Marissa Jacobs, their spouses, Kristina Mongan and Elliot Jacobs, and her three grandchildren, Michael Mongan, Mila Mongan, and Keira Jacobs, as well as her granddaughter in heaven, Emma Alexandra Jacobs, with all her heart. Her grandchildren will miss their loving and fun "Grammie" terribly. She gave her boundless love to us unconditionally. I can't imagine life without her. She would want us to carry on though, as hard as it is to do. I have always been awed by her strength and resolve. She would want us to look for the positive, and the joy in life, as she always did. She was the sunshine in our lives and her example will be what I strive for. Kathy, you are gone way too soon, and I will always and forever love you.
