Pat, Mary, and Dan — My deepest sympathies to you at this time. Kathleen was a corker — I loved spending time at your house on Sunday afternoons, Pat and me wailing on the piano and organ while she cheered us on. She was hilarious and I got such a kick out of her when we’d take a break and just visit. Great memories. May you move forward with many fond thoughts, laughter and memories of her.
