Herb, and family; I am so sorry for your loss. Kathleen was always very sweet and loving when I would see her. She always had a smile, and whether I saw her at family gatherings, summer parties or see her at a restaurant when she was having a meal with her beloved, Herb, it always made my day to talk to her and get a hug. I pray that she rests peacefully in the arms of Our Lord, with an eternity of Peace, Happiness and Grace. Amen.
Big Hugs and Love,

This seems like it was a spontaneous picture. Grandma has her "oooo" look because you had to sneak pictures of her sometimes. Your mom (my Aunt Kathy) always had the genuine, happy smile and I am so grateful to have seen her Thanksgiving AND Chistmas this year to see that smile some more. I also heard that smile was glowing the entire time at her renewal of her wedding vows just last Friday. What a gift and legacy in her smile. I will miss her calling me "Shelly".
